Reports Report 1981aw (Event 1981-2024)

Observer
Name Scott K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Just thought for sure other people would see it. It was big and fire active and falling but not extinguished. I thought from 876 Coral Reef it would be between me and Needles. But it's hard to tell. It could have been much farther given it's size. Almost like an airplane falling in flames and breaking up.
