| Name | Frank L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I'm not familiar with sky watching whatsoever, but I wanted to report this. I was standing in my yard, looked up and saw a brilliant white streak for about a second very high up in the sky. I've never seen anything like it. It looked like a whitish dot with a white trail behind it. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I work in the news industry and have talked to the AMS before, and I'm happy to help in some small way. |
