| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sean H |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I first observed the light, passing through the shutters, which I believed to be a crescent or half moon. When I changed the perspective of my gaze through the shutters I noticed it was moving, relative to my head movement. A second or two later I watched it flash and fragment, seeming to be extremely close to my neighbor’s house and fields to the west. |
