Name Matt M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks A New York touch down is inaccurate. It would have actually touch down in Russell Memorial Field, Nashua NH if it didnt fizzle out 100 feet from ground. It was close enough that i could hear the fizzle, and light light reflections off the trees. It was very bright with a long flame trail.
