Along the lines of what you started here - it would have at least coordinates, and then it would have many other properties (the definition of the local referent frame among them), methods to observe the event, record it, measure, calculate etc. And it would do that from its local POV. Then the overall app would gather these from observer objects and aggregate them after translating into absolute space.
IOW, I didn't think this observer could be anything simple :).
