Name Daniel H
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks My wife and I were outside facing west having finished observing the sunset and watching the clouds roll toward us, then in the Southwest sky behind us the object entered and traveled toward the west - we briefly lost it as it dropped below the roofline of our neighbor and stood up and walked forward to see between the houses and caught the last sight of it in the west
