Reports Report 2591e (Event 2591-2014)

Observer
Name Kathy K
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Not sure exactly what I saw. I thought it was a comet like I saw in August during the Persied Meter Shower. I just happened to be outside looking up when this "comet (?)" flew over in a Northerly direction. The trees prevented me from seeing more. It was very similar to what I saw in August. Would like to hear back as to what I saw. Thx
