| Remarks | I was taking pictures of the moon, Venus, and Jupiter when this low flying burning ball appeared above me. It had a smooth front and wavy back. It was large. May be 4 times larger than the size of the observed Venus. I thought that it was a plane and I wanted to take a picture of it with the moon because it was flying in that direction. However, the burning ball just disappeared. |
