Reports Report 172sf (Event 172-2023)

Observer
Name Sara T
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It almost thought it was a firework someone had shot - like a huge roman candle. However I didn’t hear anything and see any others. I’d wondered what it was until Travis Herzog posted about it on Facebook. I know the exact time because I could confirm what time I exited my vehicle from work.
