| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Julius W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was listening to music at the time the incident occurred, so I am unsure whether it made any sound. During the seconds after the incident, I did not hear any boom or other sound. Since I was looking down the urban canyon of Feldbergstraße, my field of view was narrowed by building. I am unsure how long the smoke trail really was, it all happened so fast. |
