Observer
Name Paul M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks We were driving, and saw it while driving, it was very bright, long fire trail behind, but we were unable to note accurate details until we arrived home. Time of sighting should be accurate to within 10min. Angles are approximate, as I was paying attention to driving primarily.
