Reports Report 3043b (Event 3043-2013)

Observer
Name Tom C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks At first I thought it was a plane, but noticed it was traveling in an odd direction. It quickly brightened, and then winked out. Waited for sound, but didn't hear anything. It's still possible it was an aircraft, but seemed very high, and very bright.
