| Name | Eddie M |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | From my vantage point, the eastern horizon is roughly 60 miles away and the western horizon is maybe 6 or 7 miles. I was fortunate enough to be looking east when it first appeared. It travelled up and almost directly over me. At the time there was still a little daylight in the west, and as it approached that horizon, it vanished from my view. I don't know if it burned out or if it became lost in the fading light, but it appeared to burn out. My answer in #5 above should be about 135 degrees, but that evidently is not an option on the form. The trajectory was entirely different from the one seen in Kentucky and West Virginia last night. It was quite spectacular. |
