| Remarks | It was super incredible experience to see this. I was lying down on deck looking up. The brightness caught my eye on the left through trees, it was that bright. I expected to see a "shooting star". It DID NOT fade. It was going too fast for a satellite and way too bright. Looked like your photo on your website. It also retained it's shape; once again, did not fade like a shooting star. It shot to my right and I lost its view due to another tree. Also,I am not sure of exact time. I've seen lots of shooting stars and satellites. This was truly incredible and I wonder what it was. Thank you!! |
