Reports Report 7440et (Event 7440-2020)

Observer
Name Michael D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks What I considered unusual involving what I witnessed this evening was the completely vertical trajectory. Also the height it occurred. It seemed as if the elevation was relatively like a commercial firework. Which it was not a firework. Looked like a car sized fireball falling from the sky.
