Reports Report 5935b (Event 5935-2018)

Observer
Name Jane D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This was not the ISS as this was due in view at approx 5.12am on the 1st Jan. The object looked like an Orange large shooting star and was moving at speed quicker than I observe with the ISS. It faded into the distance but believe this was due to becoming out of site rather than dispersing.
