Reports Report 1284a (Event 1284-2024)

Observer
Name Valerie N
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I stepped onto the deck on the west side of my house. Looked to the north and saw it arc from east to west to the north (over my ranch home). I would consider it a “low” arc as opposed to a “high” arc. (My home is sort of a L shape). Top of my ranch was 15-20ish feet from where I was standing. Years ago, I saw one bigger with a significant tail. I would say this one had no tail that I could see. I did look at my Fitbit immeadiately, and the time read 9:32 pm in Illinois.
