Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was sitting on patio facing west. I happened to look left to the south and saw a bright ball I’m the sky. At first I thought it was a meteor but bigger and brighter then any meteor I’ve seen. It’s a clear dark night in Koloa, Hawaii. Where I saw it in the sky wasn’t too far from Pluto.
