Observer
Name Susan F
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have a second picture, taken just after this one. Also a 3s iPhone exposure. It looks smaller in the second photo . It was quite late when I first saw it above my shoulder, I thought it was plane contrails but the trails disappeared faster than a plane and it was moving so fast.
