Reports Report 3648p (Event 3648-2024)

Observer
Name Steve J
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I have been watching the sky, all of my life and I haven't seen anything like this. It went from west to east on a flat trajectory, with a foot long train and it seems as if I'm the only one that witnessed it. The video doesn't do it justice.
