Reports Report 2230b (Event 2230-2026)

Observer
Name Karen A
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I happened to be looking at the sky when I saw a bright fast moving light appear. The light was definitely brighter than any stars or planets in the sky I’ve regularly seen, including Venus. It was a quick encounter, the angle was rather steep and downward and then the light went behind the tree line where I couldn’t see or dissipated right before.
