Observer
Name David M
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks There was a brief trail that faded within one second. The trail was slightly narrower than the full moon. The trail did not look solidly colored, it was somewhat translucent -- I have never seen one like this before and I have been observing since about the year 1965, when I was a teenager. The trail was not a straight line but curved downwards slightly. It also became wider as it traveled.
