Reports Report 5340f (Event 5340-2018)

| Name | barry f |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | appeared direct overhead and covered 50 degree sky to a 40 degree elevation then disappeared for 3 seconds before reappearing for another 2 seconds just as bright, at elevation 15 degree till over rooftops at 10 degree going just as strong, so it may have started earlier and finished later than the parts of it I witnessed. I was wondering then, if it was a so called "earth grazer" which had skipped across the atmosphere like a pebble does on water as it was a very clear sky, no cloud whatsoever. |
