Reports Report 984a (Event 984-2017)

Observer
Name Lingner L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Time was approximate. Was coming off the highway and some trees blocked my view for a second. It was originally a light colored ball, then turned more orange and flared out wider. Tree blocked view and just vanished, when I felt I should have still seen it on the horizon. Going very, very fast.
