| Name | Terry H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Upon searching the internet immediately following this event, I saw that Russia had launched a cargo missile at about that time, I assumed that is what it was. It seemed to be too slow to be a meteor or meteorite. I have found that when I see those they are so fast that you aren't sure that actually saw something, however, I just today looked at the videos from the event in Florida recently, that is similar to what I experienced except the trajectory was certainly different. What I saw was basically West to East. |
