Reports Report 3378bc (Event 3378-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mark D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | At first thought maybe someone had launched a large firework from the top of a building back over my right shoulder. Very consistent level of brightness in the first second. Realized it was travelling far too broad of an arc of sky in a straight line. I only saw it for about 1.2 seconds but may have been shining before I noticed it. |
