Observer
Name Ellen M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was waiting for the ISS, which had not appeared yet, so the time is exact. It went straight down leaving a vertical line and flamed out about halfway to the horizon from where it first appeared. It seemed to blob at the bottom. I came back with my binocs with compass and estimated 350 deg. M.
