| Remarks | I would like to figure out if this really was a true sighting! I just randomly looked up, and saw it. I have nearly no experience observing such events, but I know all about celestial bodies and 'orbital mechanics'. This took place during the Harvest Moon, which was out at the time but was obscured by thin clouds. The sighting, however, was not. Please keep me updated! |

| Remarks | It came across the sky like the embers of a firework exploding. There were no other particles, no boom, and no fireworks in the area. There were bright yellow particles/embers that continued for a short ways in the direction of the object before fading to orange and disappearing. This all took place in about 1 second |
