Reports Report 2560a (Event 2560-2017)

Observer
Name Mario R
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It caught my attention when it seem to suddenly appear and zooming almost parallel with the ground, brightness and size seemed to stay the same during my view of the object. Because of trees I can't be certain if it appeared and disappeared or if it just appeared that way because it came from behind the trees into my view and then went behind another row of trees out of my view
