Reports Report 13d (Event 13-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Susan P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was traveling approximately 70mph eastbound on I-66 about a mile before the Vienna/Nutley exit when I saw the bright streak and flash northeast of my position. Seemed relatively close. I'm a journalist, so I checked local jurisdictions for damage reports/sightings, but got nothing. May have misjudged distance. |
