| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | John J |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This happened fortuitously as I was glancing out of the window (what luck!) to enjoy the clear nights we are having - I had wondered if it might have been some satellite breaking up but it was too fast for that, I figured. Had I been outdoors I would undoubtedly have heard something too, though not sure how long afterwards. |
