| Observer | |

| Name | Paul E |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Time is approximate. Not sure how accurate it is, but it was definitely after dark and before 11pm. Was surprised to not see any other media around this object, it was quite noticeable and spectacular in the western sky and I wasn’t looking for meteors at the time... It just caught my eye as I was facing that direction, and my friend sitting beside me saw it as well so I know I didn’t imagine it! ;-) |
