Observer
Name Mike H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I driving my car and could clearly see it. I saw it in my periphery first since I was driving and it happened so fast I watched it cross the sky and disappear in mere moments. Hopefully I got the angle of it correct. It appeared to be travelling away from me, in the same direction I was driving. So I put straight down for the angle.
