| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kathryn M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My daughter noticed it first, and my son also observed it. I have confirmation from another person in our city who also saw it. If the trajectory would have been different, I would assume it was a firework or flare, as that is the most similar looking thing I've seen. |
