Observer
Name Cody M
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I am filling this information out for my mother who saw it after letting the dog outside (We both live in the same house). It went in a straight line and lasted no longer than 2 seconds in the sky. The time this occurred is an estimate. I didn't see it myself, but this is based on the information I was given.
