Reports Report 3384jf (Event 3384-2014)

Observer
Name Mara R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving on 81 from Harrisonburg, Va toward Route 66 and Washington Dc. I think I was parallel to Luray Caverns when we saw the yellow/orange trail appear out of no where low in the horizon and then form into a round ball of the fire. I thought it was falling debri from an airplane at first until I saw it explode and disappear.
