The time of 22:45 hours is approximated. We were driving west from warm lake back to Cascade ID in an ope top land cruiser. The fire entered into veiw from the south and went straight across our feild of vision to the north. It had a very long tail that spanned over 3/4 of our westward field. Exploded in the north in a very bright white/yellow star/multi sharp pointed explosion. It was beautiful!! The tail was thick and bright white. Spectacular sighting.
