| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | it seemed somewhat "close" - my first assumption was shooting star but I've never seen a shooting star with a fire at its tail. (I made a wish anyway) Being the day after New Years Day it occurred to me that it could've been a 'dud' firework, however those still usually fizzle or snap at the end. After thinking about it, I realized it could have been a fireball and that it was actually "closer" to earth so easier to see the tail. |
