| Remarks | My 9 year old daughter Ava reported this to me, she was very excited. I ran outside to our front yard where she pointed up to the sky to where the object was clearly flaming looking much like a 'burning campfire', it was was traveling to the west. We observed it for approximately 2-3 min, it burned irregularly, but very bright, almost had what looked like burning corona around a mini-sun as it travelled. I grabbed some binoculars and observed its movement but it soon faded out, likely burning out in the atmosphere. Eventually disappearing from our view in the western sky. |
