| Observer | |

| Name | Cristian S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was quite hazy almost foggy. Ie , could only see stars directly above with any clarity, so it must have been very bright since I could barely see other bright stars behind it after it burned out. Beautiful. Very bright at its peak, so glad I was walking in that direction at that moment. It was framed by the buildings on both sides so my view angle was exact and it was almost directly above my house so I’m confident about the location |
