| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Terry T |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I keep waiting for it to flash,or burn out, or to fragment into smaller pieces -but it didn't. Then I was watching for it to make a downward trajectory, but it never appeared to. It appeared to disappear in the direction that I indicated. Was it just glancing through our atmosphere? |
