| Name | bern b |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It appeared to be quite distant from me, as no noise or shock wave was felt. I'd quess 10-50 miles from me ... perhaps more. The angle of transit was slightly below the horizontal plane. My first instinct was space junk or a aircraft explosion ... given the rather flat and slow trajectory. Not the typical rapid meteor speed of transit. |
