Reports Report 1076ag (Event 1076-2022)

Observer
Name Sabrina C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks When I first saw it, I thought it was the lights from a low flying airplane, then I saw the flames, still thinking it was a plane, but one that was having issues, then in about 2 seconds it disappeared. Exact location is difficult to determine as I was driving east. The fireball went from east to west, pretty parallel to Highway 34.
