| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Michael E |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | No experience with astronomy however I am a pilot and have significant experience observing aircraft, beacons etc. I have also seen a fair number of shooting starts but this event seemed very low altitude to me. I was driving in a vehicle when observed and this was not observed while flying to be clear. |
