Name | Dan A |
Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | Really quite striking — looked like a bottle rocket shot from behind the apartment buildings opposite the park. MY WIFE SAW IT, TOO — AND SHE WAS ON THE PHONE WITH ME FROM IN THE CAR UP NEAR FULLERTON OR SO!!! She exclaimed into the phone, “what was that?!” Astonished, I said, you mean the same thing I just saw? |
