| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ryan J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Viewing location was a well lit parking lot. Limiting visual magnitude to approximately +3.5. Also located approximately 20km from CYMX, therefore not uncommon to see bright lights in the sky due to landing lights on aircraft. Was not actively observing at point of initial contact. Initial observation came from peripheral vision and was bright enough to immediately draw my attention, whereas a plane would not. |
