Reports Report 326g (Event 326-2015)

Observer
Name Robert M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This object was larger and lower on the horizon than any meteor I have ever seen. I wonder if it was a part of a falling satellite. The object appeared suddenly in my field of vision. The object was bright white, the tip and bottom were a bright red. I lost sight of the object behind the small hill to the south.
