Reports Report 2769b (Event 2769-2017)

Observer
Name Bruce R
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The Information I provide is from a Quality Engineering background- Defense Industry - just the facts; for me personally this is a "sign"; first event of this type for me ever. (my late sister died on the 12th of August 1962, I was watching the sky (thinking of her) and lo and behold- the surprise of my life!) I look for validation from other observers
