Reports Report 1247b (Event 1247-2015)

Observer
Name Steve C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was a very quick streak across the sky that I've never seen before which lasted about 2 seconds. It resembled to be something on fire that I've never seen. I just happened to notice it because it was in the direction I was standing. To someone just standing on a deck it looked very low and just over the tree line.
