Name Laura H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I only saw it for a few seconds it was large and went behind the mountain in my back yard I was facing south it came from east to west at what seemed to be 1200 feet elevation.(I live at 800 and the mountain is 1800) I don't know if I filled out your form direction correctly. It did not have a visible tail. Amazing I can't find any information about other people seeing it.
