Observer
NameTaiping Z
Experience Level3/5
RemarksI first thought it was an aircraft with lots of lights on or an aircraft that somehow caught on fire, but the view lasted long enough for me to realize it was not. I was quite surprised. I expected to hear some sound when it reached the ground, but I did not hear anything.
