Observer
Name brian L
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I don't consider myself an astronomer but I star gaze regularly. I can identify satellites, the space station and basic constilations. This was unlike anything I have ever seen. I'm not positive of the exact time it happend. If you held a dime an arms length away that was the size of this event.
