Reports Report 305a (Event 305-2016)

| Name | Taylor S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was slower moving than any meteor I've ever seen, or it least it seemed to be that way. Thought it was man made at first. I was inside and saw it through the window, so I didn't notice where it began in the sky. It looked like it was heading towards the horizon. It was bright and captivating enough, and from my strange angle it did almost look like it was going to eventually make impact (maybe a mile away, maybe 100 miles...very tough to tell). I did partly expect to hear some kind of boom or see a flash as it landed or something like that. I am very curious what it was, and I keep hoping to see something about it on the Internet! It was cool. Hope this helps. |
