Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | It was through my window, in my apartment in the middle of Brooklyn where there's a lot of light pollution. I thought it was a firework though there was no sound. I decided to research if anyone else had seen it, which brought me to this site. It totally matches up to the time and date other people in NYC saw it -- very cool. Oh, and I put an approx. time of 10:15 because I didn't look at the time when I saw it... again I thought it was a firework. |
