Reports Report 2380c (Event 2380-2024)

Observer
Name Ann E
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was looking from the bank of the River Tweed for forecast aurora borealis (not visible) when I saw this. Very quick, quite large, never seen anything like it. It emerged from behind a band of cloud into an area of clear sky over Berwick. It would have landed (if not burnt up) in the rural area to the south of Berwick.
