| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | it appeared to be traveling straight down, the slight horse shoe shape of a bright white like the brightest moon, it fragmented about 2 seconds into my viewing, the slight horseshoe just split into one small and one larger light and then disappeared. My yard is on the top of a hill so the view over the slightly lower valley made it easier to see but harder to tell where in the skyline it ended, and i didnt catch the beginning, it caught my eye after picking up my dogs poop. thanks! |
