| Name | kelly |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | we are very rural here and i have asked others if they saw it but only my son and i did. we can\'t figure it out-it seemed to high and on such a fast trajectory that we can\'t believe it was a firework or something like that, but we just don\'t know. sorry if i am wasting anyone\'s time here, but it sure seemed remarkable and organic to us. |
