| Name | Robert S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This viewing was very strange, when what we thought looked like a meteor appeared over head, it proceeded to go west/ northwest and drop towards the horizon .Venus wss bright in the west that night just over the horizon. The object stopped dropping and proceeded to reverse it's path back on the same line where it had come from. Once it was back overhead, it gradually disappeared. We did not see any more after that. |
