Reports Report 7817e (Event 7817-2023)

Observer
Name Jeffrey B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was on a walk around the neighborhood looking up at the sky because there were very few clouds in the sky and I could see the stars very clearly. Then I saw this bright white light streak across the sky from my right to my left heading East across the horizon with a slightly downturned angle and then it disappeared within a matter of seconds.
