Reports Report 3104a (Event 3104-2017)

Observer
Name Mark G
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks My immediate thought was wow a shooting star, then I thought don't be daft it must be a plane for a split second before then being absolutely sure it was a "shooting star" as it lasted for only a second traveling very fast then was gone. It all took only about 2 seconds from first spotting to being sure.
