Reports Report 1055f (Event 1055-2020)

Observer
Name Brad B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks This was quite interesting. Just for reference, I am a police officer who was on duty at the time. The explosion was quite delayed and it was loud enough it had me concerned that something was wrong until I realized it was likely from the fireball.
