| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Not sure what this was... I was out riding my bike and it appeared at what looked to be close (less than 50 ft above me.) I thought it was a firecracker at first , but it fizzled out before it hit the ground and there was no sound at all. It was definitely a burning ball with a thick short tail behind it and it sort of fell a bit like a feather (dance like) especially towards the end when it died. It lasted less than 10 seconds so I didn’t have enough time to get off my bike to take a picture. I couldn’t see the horizon from where it appeared so I dont know where it actually was relative to me on the ground. Again, it seemed eerily close to me and low to the ground. Very interesting/ intriguing! |
