Reports Report 994p (Event 994-2011)

Observer
Name Ann
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Great site. Did not last long but was bright enough to draw my attention from reading. Our porch has a 180 degree view of lake and sky. Was much more than just a \"falling star\". Bright as a full moon but not as large, not sure if my brightness report was accurate. Would love to know if anybody else saw it. Ann
