Reports Report 982aa (Event 982-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Samantha H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It seemed to be travelling almost parallel to the horizon, with only the slightest decline. Definitely not a shooting star. It was heading due South. I first observed it from my front yard to the East. It may have burned a bit longer than five seconds, but I said 2 - 5 to err on the side of caution. |
