Reports Report 4193a (Event 4193-2015)
| Observer | |

| Name | Christopher H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The object was visible only for about two-three seconds, burning at an intensity that was significantly greater than Venus. From my rooftop, where I smoke, I have a good vantage of southern Seoul. The object swept across my vision, from roughly an easterly direction to the southwest. Appeared brightest at the beginning, before winking out at the end. Because of the brightness and the speed the object was moving at, and the proximity of US Army bases, I briefly thought it was a fighter jet moving at a higher speed and low altitude. But it burned much too quickly for it to be anything other than falling space junk or a meteor. I have see no mention of the event in the local newspapers. |
