Reports Report 1390a (Event 1390-2012)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mary |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I looked like a flaming object, about the size of a dime (to my view) moving from NW to SE across evening sky. Moved steadily and smoothly across sky, the way an airplane would. At first I thought it was a plane on fire, but there was no breaking up or falling. |
