Name joe s
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks it was only a bit of morning twilight, not lights on inside yet, i was facing northerly direction inside the house, it was like a headlight brightness , coming through a window, when i looked up i saw the trail, the window only showed me a part of the trail, and i was far back from the window,,,it was bright, and left a slowly fading trail that lasted 2 or 3 seconds,,,i dont know if it was a meteor, or a piece of space debris,,,either way it was impressive
