| Remarks | It was in my line of site because I was seeing other shooting stars coming approximately from, high in the south eastern skies, when I saw a very quick, large circled corkscrew trail being left behind and it made aproximatly one and a half maybe two revolutions and burnt out.it came in at a very steep angle from high in the south southeastern sky, it was between one and three Am in the morning. I don't think there was a moon that night it was pretty clear skies and dark. |
