| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kenny A |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | It was like something I have never seen before? It appeared to be headed straight towards me, or the exact opposite, which would be headed away from me. It appeared as a light shrouded in a cloud? Not much visible movement, but started at a low luminescence, progressing into a brighter luminescence in about 10 seconds. It was located left of Ursa Major,, a little more than 45 degrees above the horizon. Looked very similar to a rocket plume going thru the upper atmosphere. |
