| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Laurie B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Even though I was looking through a lot of trees when I first noticed it, it was clearly not something that should be in the sky at night. I saw it fall and then the end of the trail, where it flashed and was gone. The flash was close to the tree line, but I live on a river, so once it dropped below the branches I was looking through, I had an unobstructed view of the flash. |
