This report has been linked to the following event: Event 31-2019
Observer
NameMindy H
Experience Level2/5
RemarksI thought it was a falling star, but it seemed odd that it was going across the horizon, not falling. I was also driving past the Patuxent River Naval Air Station so I thought it could have been some kind of aircraft or something. Very bright and much bigger than a falling star, and much more round.
