|---|---|
| Name | Arthur R |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving in NYC on the East FDR Drive, surrounded by lights and some buildings, so I can't confirm some details about my observations, but it was obvious and beautiful. At first I thought it was a pyrotechnics display for Time's Square New Year's Eve celebration. |
