Firework bangs and a High Rocket? Seen from Dalgety Bay
Very fast high orange climbing light (rocket?)
11:53pm north of Dalgety Bay. Lasted a few minutes and started to fall. What's going on?!

There's many instances of "illegal fireworks" being set off in this area, usually VERY late on.
(Illegal after 11pm I believe, apart from "recognised" dates such as 5th Nov or Hogmanay).
Red "parachute-flare" fireworks got banned here a few years back because this is an airport TCA.
Your "orange" rocket sounds like a nicked lifeboat "Maroon" or whatever.
Anyway, don't expect our local "PC Plods" to track down any culprits - that would mean them getting out of those warm cosy unmarked silver-grey "traffic cars" they like to pose around in!
