Reports Report 4820h (Event 4820-2024)

Observer
Name Kathleen H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was extremely fast-moving and unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It appeared from behind the fir trees, and shot across the open view and could be seen flashing through the trees on the other side of the yard until my view was blocked by the house. It seemed to be on a horizontal trajectory heading northwest. My friend saw it too.
