Reports Report 2187ki (Event 2187-2014)

Observer
Name David S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Basically, I saw a light falling in what looked like a straight down trajectory. It flared up, and disappeared. It resembled a firework effect, and I thought that that was what I had seen, until I saw news reports and video that matched what I saw.
