Observer
Name Kristi S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It almost instantly appeared in the sky and was moving quickly towards the horizon. It’s seemed to break a part slightly as the orange trail became move visible. Then after first noticing it it vanished without a trace. Lasted about 15 seconds. It was very bright and moving fast. The sun was setting. It was still too bright out to be a visible satellite and 100% not a plane as I’m only a few miles from the airport.
