| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Susan H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was extremely bright and seen in the direction of SLC Airport landing flight path, from the 10th floor of my condo. My first thought was that it was a crashing plane because it was low on the horizon angling down. However, it disappeared before it “hit”. |
