| Remarks | When I saw it, it appeared to be two pieces. The first piece was larger than the second piece. Seemed like the second, smaller, piece was off set from the first piece but following close behind the first. It disappeared behind the trees on the horizon while still in two parts. while there was cloud cover above my location the horizon area to the north was clear of clouds. |
