Reports Report 340nf (Event 340-2016)

Observer
Name Rose P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks it looked like a shooting star, it was hard to determine use the site map to tell you accurately the direction it traveled how far above the horizon etc. I continued to watch for other mediators and did not see any after that. Thought it was a random shooting star that I see every now and then until I read the article more people had seen it.
