Observer
NameSusan H
Experience Level1/5
RemarksThis was extremely bright and seen in the direction of SLC Airport landing flight path, from the 10th floor of my condo. My first thought was that it was a crashing plane because it was low on the horizon angling down. However, it disappeared before it “hit”.
