Reports Report 5598as (Event 5598-2023)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Keith V |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Gorgeous, bright and dramatic. I was driving and saw it in its entirety. It was so bright, my friend in the passenger seat, who was looking down at the time, saw the flash out of his peripheral vision and looked up with enough time to see the majority of the event! So glad I caught it! Wish I'd had my dash cam on! |
