Reports Report 6685b (Event 6685-2019)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jeff P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I used my compass on the phone to conclude the heading was West by South west. I was in the car, windows closed and didn't pull over thus no comment on sound or trail. As I recall it passed behind the treeline and the hill in front of me without an explosion or fragmentation (and have seen this phenomenon in the past .) The trail was very bright and long, much lighter in color (white/yellowish) than the more fiery object in the front (Orangy red?) |
