| Name | Eric C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Observed while driving home - when first spotted could have mistaken it for local commercial air traffic until I noticed how quickly it was moving, and the ionization trail. Because I was driving I couldn't observe it's full trajectory, but did see it stay intact for the 5 to 7 seconds I could observe. If I had to estimate, looked to cover 10 to 15 degrees of arc per second. |
