Observer
Name Joe H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was in a remote campground on the In the Queets rainforest on Queets river road. I am not certain of the exact address or time, but it was near the time the moon set. Maybe slightly before. Bright object moved slowly from south east to NW at low trajectory just above the tree line. It lasted about 5+ Seconds and disappeared below the tree line.
