Observer
Name James J
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was in the car driving and saw it through the front windshield. I am a meteorologist with a master's degree, and I am an experienced navigator that used sightings of celestial objects with a sextant to determine my location, so I have a lot of experience with elevation and azimuth.
