| Name | Addy D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful, I don’t know anything about these. I used the compass app on an iPhone 12 Pro Max to approximate the angles I reported. There’s a small private airport nearby and I was afraid I was seeing a crash, but there was no sound and I realized it had a meteor tail. I saw it seconds after sitting down on the second floor balcony, where the horizon is blocked by tall trees on the properties behind the house, so the terminal point was partially obscured by branches. |
