| Observer | |

| Name | Mark Iver S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was looking for the SpaceX launch and just before it was to launch . Btw. i didn't see SpaceX's rocker to plume, which I've seen before on the Beaumont/Banning boarder. I am about 2600' in elevation. It light i saw, seemed low. I thought maybe a light but the speed and length arc/across the sky was too great. If someone confirms my sighting, I won't feel like a nut reporting this. Thanks |
