Reports Report 3638ayd (Event 3638-2014)

Observer
Name Kathryn H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was initially attracted to this area of the sky due to an incredibly odd and beautiful cloud formation I noted as I left my house to drive to the location where I realized that the article moving through the sky was not a jet as the trail stayed with it rather than remaining in the atmosphere. I thought it might be space debris until I saw the article tonight.
