Observer
Name Shea F
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks It caught my eye as I was walking in from taking photos of the moon and two planets that were in line at sunset. It was bright enough to see through trees..I watched it as I tried to get my phone camera to open and as I got to clearing of trees I was too late. It appeared to disappear in the clouds or fall to earth.
