Reports Report 1899k (Event 1899-2024)

Observer
Name Peter O
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was a bit suspicious that I was seeing something of human origin (general proximity to Disney World, the airport, and Cape Canaveral). But the direction and speed didn’t seem like Disney fireworks and it was disintegrating, so hopefully not something from the airport or space center!
