Reports Report 2516d (Event 2516-2014)

Observer
Name Kevin M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This object appeared far brighter than the ISS. Although slightly larger in size. Maybe 1.5 x the apparent size of the ISS as seen from earth. The "glow" was very bright. It did not exhibit the same characteristics of a satellite moving in speed or in and out of earth's shadow. I am not certain it was a fireball but it appeared as one. Please keep me posted.
