Observer
Name	David S
Experience Level	2/5
Remarks	I saw the flash with my periferias vision after just turning from looking a the moon. When I turned back to see what had caused it I saw the smoke trail all across the moon. It had travelled from directly above right down to the horizon in the matter of a second. The huge smoke trail hadn’t been there a second beforehand.
