| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Michael T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Very brief, seen through a break in the trees so actual duration unknown. Brightest object like this I've ever seen. And a definite object, not merely a bright point source. I expected a delayed sound, but heard none. |
