The 856-hour private pilot reported that during a precautionary landing during night visual conditions, the airplane landed hard in an uneven field. The pilot stated that he was unable to locate the airport due to the darkness and intense light from fireworks adjacent to his location. Due to his low-fuel situation, the pilot elected to fly to an incorporated area and land. The pilot further stated that during the approach to a field, he saw the ground through the side window and thought he was approximately 10 feet above the ground at the time of impact.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate preflight planning/preparation for the flight. Contributing factors were the night visual conditions, and the lack of suitable terrain for landing.
