| Observer | |

| Name | Liz S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The object observed was *very large* compared to other night-sky objects. As bright as Venus, which was also visible I the west. Since your own form for reporting this sighting referenced a hand at arms length, the object was roughly the combined size of my pinkie and ring finger together. Also, while I have seen many meteore showers in my lifetime and regularly stargaze, the object/event we observed was unlike anything I or my companion have ever seen before. Too damned cool for words. |
