| Remarks | looked like a falling flare. Could have been a firework, except it was much too bright & there was no sound. way too large to have been far off. seemed to dissappear at the point marked "last saw". Was not looking for meteors, just looked up and caught what I assume* was the tail end of its visibility. was certainly the most amazing thing I've ever seen in the sky. Kept waiting for sound but it never came. |
