Reports Report 2921ahe (Event 2921-2022)

Observer
Name Emma J
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It looked like something was falling / travelling through the sky on fire before it disappeared. It wasn’t a plane. It almost looked like a firework (no neon colours - it wasn’t a firework) only shades of yellow burning. And bright in the dusk night. Didn’t think anything of it until I saw the post on Facebook. We would love to know more about it if possible.
