Reports Report 7019fj (Event 7019-2023)

Observer
Name Jan R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving, heading east, when I saw it, suddenly. I am not sure of the time. It was very bright and kind of exploded on the way down. I'm not sure of the angles asked for in the questionnaire; what I reported is my best guess as it happened so fast.
