Observer
NameBob C
Experience Level1/5
RemarksWas merging off the freeway and something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye. I turn my head and saw what I Initially thought it was a firework, but realized the velocity was extremely fast and the angle was very shallow, fairly level to the horizon and approximately 500” + or - off the ground. It left a long streak before breaking up into smaller fragments and dissipated in a couple of seconds. I’d say the color was similar to a bottle rocket.
