Reports Report 6808i (Event 6808-2020)

Observer
Name Jim T
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks At first I thought it was the ISS which follows a similar trajectory. However it was a higher elevation than this is normally observed at these latitudes and was travelling faster. Additionally I quickly noticed it had an orange trail. There was a thin layer of high level cloud plus some medium level cloud.
