| Name | Alex M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was bright so it caught my eye. I was puzzled, perplexed. Did I dream it? It was slower than a meteorite, a stately descent. Could it be a plane falling? What else could it be? I live ~30 miles north of Aberporth MOD, but it was the wrong direction for military testing (out to sea). It was nearly as bright as the quarter moon. I was viewing SSE. It appeared above and eastwards of the moon, staying east of the moon on its descent, then disappeared behind a forested hill. I live at 60m elevation, forested hill opposite is ~130m. |
