Observer
Name	Leslie Y
Experience Level	3/5
Remarks	This wasnt high in the Sky nor was it far away, It was no further than 200ft away. I went outside straight after and saw a "shooting star" within 5minutes after seeing this, The two sightings were completey different and were from different directions, This sighting was nothing I have seen before in many years of observing meteor showers. It looked like a firework but was too big to be one, No street lighting or other light pollution other than the outside security light 60watt bulb at the side of the house. Unsure what this was but the flash was witnessed by my partner.
