| Name | Nigel B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This object seemed to be moving in a horizontal movement across the sky, (sorry that the photo is blurred) the photo doesn't show it but it had a small white/blue ball infront of the small trail it had. I don't think it was a fire ball, but from were I was standing i saw it over the Perth airport direction then it headed south. I know planes, satellites etc. As I observe these on a regular basis. Also I observe meteors quite often in the outback were i work and these generally look to come towards the earth or come down, this item was going horizontal, way to fast for a plane, jet or satellite, I looked on flightradar and no plane on that course. Hope someone else saw it as well with a better image. I never post normal observations as I am aware of what they are, but this just seemed to be different to what I normally observe. |
