| Name | Gerald C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was out for a walk, and looked at the sky very briefly, saw this bright object with a red tail, quickly it turned into a very long trail. I know that you say it only lasts seconds, this went on for several minutes, I am not a trained eye, but I am not a young man, and I have never seen anything like this in the sky. The picture I uploaded is not the best picture (blurry), so I would like to upload another couple when you get a chance to send me the added ability to do that. It seemed to be on a glide path rather than a dive. |
