Reports Report 255a (Event 255-2011)
| Observer | |

| Name | Marie |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | saw at least ten (10) objects ....one behind another...moved fairly steadily....each came from the same general direction and travelled along the same path...no flashing lights, seemed quite large and bright orange from a far distance and then faded. I have seen satellites travel in the sky, but these were much lower (than satellites) and larger. No sound associated with them and I have seen no reports of anyone else seeing them - however, I did have a friend with me as we were walking our dogs who witnessed this as well. rather unnerving because of the number of them....not like any meteor activity I have seen prior to this . |
