Observer
Name Olivia J
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Camping at the Fern Glen Canyon mouth and couldn’t see over the high canyon walls. The light came from beyond the rim to the NE and appeared to travel NE to E and lasted ~20 secs. Could not visualize altitude and the main canyon was as bright as it is at sunset/rise. Never seen anything like it before, prepared myself for death or at least a shockwave but heard and felt nothing.
