| Name | Watkins R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Came from Cassieopea at relative low speed. Went down middle of Cygnus, wobbled turning green-blue & then out. Very long trail, almost bottle rocket like. Trail took 1 sec to fade except near portion trail in area where it wobbled took about 2 sec to fade. Slight pin-point dot near continued to horizon. High ambient light with many Xmas lights in a suburban area. In a dark sky setting, this would have lit up the ground. |
