| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Thomas G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was either HUGE and far away, or small and slow moving. It looked like it was going slower than it should have been going, yet not dropping much in the sky. I lost sight once it exited window view, but it looked almost parallel to the ground. |
