| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Aaron S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving east and looking out the side window to the south when I saw it, so it was hard to judge size or distance, but it looked about the size of a finger held at arms length and like it was going over Turnagain Arm. There was a slight tail and it broke up and disappeared from sight before anything reached the horizon. |
