| Remarks | Quiet and fast moving - thought at first was a helicopter moving fast and low, navigation light 100mph or more, but no noise, tracked it, watching. started very bright. venus kind of bright, no trails or fragmentation, watched it fade out. moved right to left very slight downward angle from my perspective. lasted 3 to 4 seconds, dont usually see them last that long. wondered if this was space debris. |
