Reports Report 963c (Event 963-2015)

Observer
Name M. T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was very bright, single light. We first thought it to be the evening star. We were looking for the big dipper when we realized it was moving but not at the same speed as a plane and much brighter. We watched it arc from WNW to the east and then it dimmed out and there was a very quick hint of a red glow and then it was gone.
