Remarks | It was very fast, almost a "glint". At first I thought it might be sunlight reflecting off a power line, but there were none. It's shape began very thin, widened slightly brightening tremendously, then narrowed and disappeared. I estimate the "length" of the entire event that of the size of the full moon. |
