Wow! So lucky to have seen it and even captured a fragment of it's glory on my dash cam. I call this cave man TV, channel 2. Caveman TV channel one is fire of course. I spent all summer out watching and saw a few good streaks but this one came out of the blue for me while driving. I've caught maybe five others while driving but never before at the right angle for the dash cam. This one was perfect!
