| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jeff S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The object was moving extremely fast across my field of vision from the southwest to northeast. It appeared similar to a traditional "comet" with a tail, but moved as fast or faster than any meteor or "shooting star" I've ever witnessed. It was also far larger, perhaps 100 times the size or a traditional meteor. |
