Reports Report 2588a (Event 2588-2018)

| Name | Gene D |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Am a nightwatchman. Watch the sky a LOT. This was brightest one I have ever seen. Am curious as to time differential between my sighting ( 1:01 AM ) and others reporting around 12:30. I checked my phone/watch immediately and have my nightwatchman log to confirm the 1:01 am time. Seems a bit odd. Maybe it was not the one that others have reported. It was a special one. Regrettably, it did track immediately behind a building towards the horizon, thus my vision obscured at end. Thank you for your time. |
