Reports Report 1981a (Event 1981-2019)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Andrew C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The object slowly grew brighter then slowly faded. It didn't move that much, slightly drifting lower in altitude as it faded but staying more or less stationary. It appears to me to have been a meteor traveling head on to my line of sight. As it faded, I could see the object faintly so it didn't burn up completely. Possible meteorite. |
