| Name | David N |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | While sitting in the house, I did hear a sound that led me to go outside to check it out.How , it may have taken me 30 seconds to get outside. I saw nothing unusual, but I did see the stars of Orion through the winter tree branches. I looked at this store for about 10 seconds, that's when I first saw the object. It was very bright and moved in a slight arc from approximately east to west. It got to a point where the house blocked my view, and by the time I got to a clear location, the object was no longer visible. I noticed there was no visible smoke trail. |
