Remarks
felt like it was about the size of 1/6 of tonight's moon. Fairly round and much, much brighter and bigger than the stars around it. It disappeared behind a house so I could not see the complete descent (or it may have gone behind the hilly terrain.)
Beautiful! Have never seen anything like it!
