| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ryan R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I don't know the full length of time it was observable as I first noticed it out of the corner of my right eye while looking east for the Geminids. I would have photographed/recorded it, but I didn't want to take my eyes off of it. I'm not sure of the exact time, but the range it was observed was between approximately 21:05 - 21:15. |
