| Name | Paul M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I apologize the picture does not have the object in it, but i wanted to show where it fell and trajectory better, it went behind the mountain range pictured, if it was day time i would have been scouting with my drone !! This was such a special experience and an astro buddy of mine said i needed to report it. I hope it helps ! Thank you for all you do ! |
