Reports Report 4967a (Event 4967-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Melanie J |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was inside opening my window when I saw it appear, so this is why I’m not sure if there happened to be an explosion sound. It lit up the sky quite a bit. I looked online to see if anyone else saw it or if it was in the news, but I didn’t find anything. Then I came across this site to report sightings. From my perspective, it looked like someone set off a bright and big firecracker across the street because it was pretty low on the horizon. |
