Reports Report 31rw (Event 31-2019)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mindy H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I thought it was a falling star, but it seemed odd that it was going across the horizon, not falling. I was also driving past the Patuxent River Naval Air Station so I thought it could have been some kind of aircraft or something. Very bright and much bigger than a falling star, and much more round. |
