Reports Report 1164l (Event 1164-2024)

Observer
Name Danielle R
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was dark and I was pulling off highway exit. It looked like a blazing ball of lava, short fat and not typical. Not the bright, long tailed flash, like ones I typically observe. This also looked really low. My viewing point, at tree line horizon, was perfect. But it was unexpected, with a lot of light pollution, partial cloud cover, and I was driving. Wicked cool though.
