Reports Report 1216ac (Event 1216-2016)

Observer
Name Edward F
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It is a very clear night and I was looking due west and the "shooting star" came from just over my left shoulder in a bright streak and dissapated in front of me before getting anywherr near the horizon. It went slower than a typical shooting star. As if it hit the thick part of the armosphere and burned out. I would guess it landed (if it landed) just off Tulalip Bay.
