This report has been linked to the following event: Event 5932-2018
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | David F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was on a motorcycle in traffic, so the traffic noise and helmet did not allow me to hear (I did listen), and the gusty winds would likely have made short work of any trail of smoke (which I have observed before). Since my attention was on traffic, mainly, I want to know all about this one, because it seem unusually big, bright, and enduring. I've seen to cool stuff in the skies, this morning's sighting really grabbed my attention. |
