| Name | Don G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was trailing right to left, basically on a horizontal, appeared close to earth in terms of its position over the houses on the horizon. First my wife saw it and pointed it out and and then I saw the bright spot with a trailer shedding sparks behind it. The trees obscurred our view, we thought for sure we would hear about it in the news or newspaper (Hartford Courant), but did not see anything. |
