Reports Report 2810e (Event 2810-2016)

Observer
Name Claire P
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I've never seen something trail across the sky for so long. I actually had time to shout it out and have others look as it went down. It looked extremely close almost like it was going to hit somewhere far way. VERY COOL!! My time may not be extremely accurate. We were camping. I'm guessing I'm within the hour for timeframe.
