Reports Report 1985al (Event 1985-2021)

Observer
Name Steve H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was surprised by the speed at which it was travelling and how bright it was. Whilst I have no astronomy observing experience I do occasionally search the sky for star formations, shooting stars and the Space Station etc and can recognise characteristics of aircraft and helicopters. This was certainly different and left me baffled.
