Reports Report 1078a (Event 1078-2015)

Observer
Name Emma M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks We were driving north when we saw the fireball that looked like it was over the water past the Edmonds Kingston ferry dock. We didn't quite know what it was so we pulled over on the street next to the shore and waited to see if there was another or possibly something in the water for a minute but we did not see anything. After research we found a sight that had a link to this survey!
