Reports Report 564ak (Event 564-2019)

Observer
Name Becky H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I happen to be looking out our window and saw a bright light that at first seemed to be the moon, but it moved quickly to the right and down and I realized it was not the moon or any means of transportation. It was rather exciting when I realized it was something I had never seen before.
