Experience Level
3/5
Remarks
It was very low. I didn't see where it entered the sky but it was as low as a plane coming in for landing soon. I feared it would crash into a building in 10 seconds that's how low it was. It also meandered a bit. It took a squiggly wavy path not a straight path. It was silent.
