Reports Report 3406ab (Event 3406-2025)

Observer
Name Jean P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was laying down in a tent (with no fly; just a mosquito nest); so my angles may be off. I only saw it once it entered my field of vision (I was lying on my back facing up) and stopped seeing it once it disappeared behind trees. I can't be sure how long it would have been visible if I had a full unobstructed view of the sky. However, I was awake at the time with my eyes open so what I did see, I saw very clearly.
