| Name | wayne |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It traveled through the sky at about a 50 degree angle. I had no obstructed view until it went below the one story building about 80 yards away to the south. The light that was still visible after it's decent, glowed red in the sky. A strange feeling that this was something that appeared to be in the neighborhood,(extremely close), I know t wasn't though. beautifully colored, made me feel very lucky to have seen something of scale, and magnitude. A little scary too! |
