Reports Report 2948c (Event 2948-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | John G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We were camping in a very quiet area (not near a city) on the coast on a calm, clear, and low moonlit night. All four of us saw the trail, one of us definitely heard it and the second believes he heard it. None of us had a watch handy, but it would have been sometime after 22:00 Atlantic Time August 25. Trees blocked our view to the south, so we did not see the termination. |
