| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Marnie W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were driving, and my daughter saw it for longer than I did. I saw the fire on it clearly… have never seen something like that before. It was dark out. And it looked to us like it could be found in that open space, but I know distances can be deceiving. |
