Observer
Name Wes D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I would be very grateful if you could provide me any information about what you think this was. It was one of the most remarkable celestial sightings I’ve ever seen. It’s angle was so different from a typical comet or shooting star in that it shot upward. I double checked with all local and foreign space stations, there was no rockets scheduled to go up at this time or place
