Reports Report 356d (Event 356-2012)

Observer
Name Gerard
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Spotted slightly below and to the right of Rigel. Was only about 1/5 the length of the one spotted three nights ago: one that I originally thought was a plane descending to Reagan National Airport. This was still very cool, but pales in comparison. I am just out walking my dogs!
