Reports Report 2849a (Event 2849-2014)

Observer
Name Kaylon H
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Unfortunately, this came down in moderate cloud cover do the details are scarce; however, the cloud cover provided much better reference points for distance and size. There was a Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Officer running radar just ahead of me facing the event who may have recorded this on his dash cam. He was on W.T. Harris Blvd. just east of the address I provided, in the median, facing east towards the event. Very cool to see!
