| Remarks | I noticed the trail first. I was looking at the constellation Orion and noticed the trail above it. At first I thought is was a starlink but it was way too long to be that. Then, I followed it and saw the red head which went out of sight fairly quickly due to trees obstructing my view. The trail persisted for about 60 seconds. I ran outside to try and photograph and while it was still faintly visible, it was clearly dissipating. |
