Reports Report 1873e (Event 1873-2012)

Observer
Name	B R
Experience Level	3/5
Remarks	I thought it was an airplane out of the corner of my eye at first. But it's movements were too unusual so that's when I caught the tail end of it. Again, it had a train during it and reminded me of a very skinny comet. The meteor itself was brighter and larger than venus. I'd say it was maybe 3-5 venuses if I had to compare the size to something.
