| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Myself and the person I was with both immediately went "WHOOOOOOOOA!" and then sat in utter stillness as it burned out overhead. It was SO COOL! I've never seen anything like it. Based on where I was sitting outside (in between 2 houses that share a driveway facing east with our chairs against the house on the west side of the driveways) the trajectory looked to be south to north. It wasn't quite overhead, more East than that, but it entered our view at that height and then stayed high until it disappeared. It was notable how straight the arc looked from where we were sitting. |
