Observer
Name john r
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks looking to the west it looked like a short arc on downward angle from south to north. Looked like a shooting star, except it was low and landed or lost sight maybe because of the Rocky Mountain range. It was too dark to make out the top of the mountains and to see where the arc ended.
