Observer
Name Ross C
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I saw this driving by Stirling Castle, initially thought it was a firework display going on at the castle but quickly realised it’s trajectory meant it couldn’t have came from the castle. It looked incredibly close to us when we saw it. Unfortunately being in the car car we couldn’t hear anything. It was great to see it.
