Reports Report 2701b (Event 2701-2013)

Observer
Name Corbett P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Other people had noticed it. Being it was Haloween, it was far to high and fast to be a firework. No final explosion, it just broke up and petered out. There was air traffic in the area, but it became as bright as a road flare for about 3-4 seconds and was breaking apart.
