Reports Report 1127r (Event 1127-2014)

Observer
Name Paul J
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have seen numerous shooting stars etc, but have never seen one seem to fly parallel to the ground. It had a low angle of decent. Was moving at an incredible speed. Was difficult to gauge it's altitude, but appeared rather low. It also had a rather long tail. Appeared to burn out as traveled out of sight moving almost directly east to west with only hint of a northerly trajectory. Hippie this was helpful. Paul
