| Remarks | About 15 minutes after this sighting, the International Space Station (ISS) was visible. As I watched the ISS flyby, it disappeared from sight well above the east horizon, as if there was a cloud deck to the east. I suspect my loss of sight of the "meteor" was due to the same cloud deck. |
