| Name | Elaine P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | At first I thought this was some type of firework that I had never seen before but then remember thinking it was too low to be that. From the angle I was looking at it to me it "seemed" like it was going to hit the ground.close by. I am also not sure how accurate I am measuring where it was in the horizon. I do know that it appeared from southeast of me at a higher angle than when it 'disappeared' slightly northeast of me at a much lower angle. There really was little looking up in the sky, I was at ground level looking straight out. I am very accurate on the time, possibly a minute later at the most because I sent a text message (12:55 AM) to a family member just after it happened. Please keep me updated. Thank You! |
