Name
Robert B
Experience Level
4/5
Remarks
The meteor (or whatever it was) was on a fairly even trajectory parallel to the horizon and appeared to be moving more slowly than any others I've seen over the years. My position/point of observation could've made it appear slow, yet this one seemed a bit different.
