Observer
Name Ken F
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was in doors watching tv when it caught my eye, I couldn't see it until it entered the field of view of my window so I don't know how high it was when it started. The direction was easily defined as it was heading straight for an aerial mast with a red light on that is on my horizon.
