At first I thought it was a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/UAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UAP</span></a> because it was burning bright orange (classic Orb). But then I saw it traverse at least ~5 degrees of the sky on a descent trajectory. It developed tail, started burning green and just as I was about to pull out my phone (it was up that long) it splashed in a splosh of orange fragments and disappeared.<br>Pretty.</p><p>Then when I got home, I saw another orange burst, but it was with a corner of my eye, and by the time I turned my head, the show was over.</p>
