| Name | Michael B |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I first caught sight of it just past Venus about an inch at arms length below and the same to the East. As it traversed the sky it never changed at all, it seemed to be slightly slower than normal and only started to dim as I lost sight behind some low cloud just past Mars. Having lived in the countryside all my life and being a night owl and avid stargazer I've had plenty of different sightings, but the one I saw tonight stayed steady and level all the way across the sky. |
