Reports Report 261d (Event 261-2026)

Observer
Name Irene F
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was overcast, so it is hard to determine the brightness accurately. Pretty bright to be able to see it through the clouds. We were driving west so also hard to pinpoint the location. A rather large disk rather than a point of light.
