Observer
Name ray c
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was an unbelievably clear night and a big glowing orange dot up and to the right of the moon just after 12 at night at first I thought it was a satellite as it was going quicker than a plane but it was too bright to be a satellite and it quickly disappeared despite the sky being completely clear.
