Reports Report 2601i (Event 2601-2025)

Observer
Name Susan R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This object differed from others I've seen in that it appeared to have two tails, as a backwards letter "c" would. It was very bright white and stood out even though it was not fully dark yet. I noticed it when it was almost directly ahead (north) and it traveled west to east until it disappeared below the eastern edge of the Sandia Mtns.
