Reports Report 3551cu (Event 3551-2024)

Observer
Name Eric A
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Almost thought it was a Roman candle or something initially, but it was too high and at a weird angle that no one would have been able to do because we are on the roof deck and there isn’t a building taller than us for at least half a mile all around.
