| Name | Matthias Max M |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Large object with a a degree long bright and well defined tail, shining brighter than nearby Jupiter and glowing orange with a dash of green. Disappeared behind a tree on approach to horizon and I lost sight of it. I have seen many but this one was unusually present in the sky and visible longer than I expected, which is why report it here. |
