| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Roger A |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Time approx +- a few mins. Direction approx toward ESE. Very fast moving, much faster than airplane or orbiter. Hard to gauge brightness, was pretty bright, much much brighter than orbiter; trail visible for 1-2 seconds, not sure if it was vision persistence from brightness against dark sky. Visible for much longer than any object I've seen in a meteor shower, much larger and brighter than star or planet. |
