Reports Report 3951b (Event 3951-2023)

Observer
Name Audrey B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I had a clear view from my picture window inside our house which was dark. I was staring out into the night because it's such a great view here up on a hill. Therefore, I was looking exactly in the direction when it appeared. It was the biggest I have ever seen. Not the longest, but the biggest and brightest. It went almost level to the horizon.
