| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Dan L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Was just walking my dog staring directly at the moon and it appeared underneath the moon in the lower left corner area in free space for a little over a second, travelling upwards and diagonally, if i wasn't looking around the general area of the moon I would've never seen! It would be helpful to include an area to pinpoint a diagram of the sighting in relation to local stars, planets and moon based on how they appear in an entered zip code. |
