Reports Report 745a (Event 745-2017)

| Name | Steve D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've got a decent telescope so I enjoy star gazing. Although this went by when I was casually looking at the tree in my yard. It traveled the whole sky. Straight. Was extremely fast, and no sound. I've seen ISS by and I've found space junk, but I've never seen anything move this fast without producing any sound. I live in a busy air traffic area, and it made the planes look like they were standing still. |
