| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kev D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The meteor or shooting star or whatever it was appeared above me, heading in a downward trajectory towards the EENE. I was patrolling in the area, and whatever it was appeared to be falling towards the ground within 10km of my position. My guesstimate is based upon my previous military experience of seeing rockets and mortars. |
