| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was looked like it was low enough in the sky that it could have been some weird kind of firework, but because it's night I couldn't really tell how far away it was, so I don't know the actual elevation. I wanted to report it in case I wasn't the only person who saw it. It didn't look like any firework I've ever seen before. It had a distinctive tail that fragmented a bit towards the end. It was similar to a fireball I saw six years ago that was confirmed by an experienced friend, but the thing I just now saw was smaller and a different color than the other one. |
