Reports Report 812c (Event 812-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Earl S |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Velocity and brightness were constant throughout the sighting. Object may have been lost in light cloud layer toward the northwest, otherwise sky was typical Arizona, cloudless and very clear. Object passed through 120 degrees of sky, directly overhead of my position, in about 5-6 seconds. What seemed unusual was how consistent the object appeared from 30 degrees above SE horizon to 30 degrees above NW horizon. |
