| Observer | |

| Name | Matthew F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I saw it late as it was over head. Started running to keep it in view before it went behind trees. Replaying in my memory it seemed so fast, so high, and not changing In direction i wondered if I'd seen a meteor. It was quite bright to the point I wonder if the brightness scale choice was right. I am amateur in that I do like to watch science related thing and read some articles but it didn't seem like a phenomenon I'm familiar with seeing before. Nothin weird beyond seeming rare. Disappeared in the general north west to north direction I believe. Hopefully other reports may confirm. I also stayed as I filled out this report. No further happenings in the sky along that corridor while filling out report. |
