Reports Report 2475be (Event 2475-2014)

Observer
Name Roy N
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks DEFINEATLY polar north to south trajectory, over the catskill mountains to my west. Low inclination, my guess due to observed trajectory was man made spent rocket or debris. It looked almost like a giant Roman candle. It was right below a first quater moon. Colorful in itself, but no bright flashes
