| Name | Brian B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was surprised to read about the large area in which it was visible. It appeared to me to be very close. I thought that any remnant would probably have had to land no further than 15 miles away. When I first saw it, I almost mistook it for an airplane with landing lights on (it was still dark), but as I watched, it was much brighter than any plane lights. |
