I observed this object laying on my back, and so my estimates of direction are affected by that and my unfmailarity with the area. At the time I thought it was an unusual sight to me as there were three other typical meteors during the 2 hour period of observation. Those meteors were blue white streaks at lower and more angled elevations in the sky. I lack detail on timing and direction of this object aa only just became aware that objects like the one I think I saw are rare and interesting to study.
