Observer
NameSchuyler D
Experience Level4/5
RemarksI was in vehicle in an urban setting unable to see any stars and had not been watching the sky until I noticed this. This may have been some aeronautical or artificial phenomenon and not a meteor. It was so bright that if nobody outside of the city reports it, I would ask you to disregard this siting.
