Reports Report 1693a (Event 1693-2024)

Observer
Name George F
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Please replace my earlier report coded as 338724 with this one. Having returned to the spot I realized that the angles I had guessed at were completely off. The angles reported here are more accurate. Note too that the time is a guess. The best I can say is it was a little before 11 PM EST, but to say it was 22:50 is bound to be off by a few minutes.
