Reports Report 1914d (Event 1914-2025)

Observer
Name Steve V
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I viewed it for almost 10 seconds. I was standing outside of a building which blocked my view after that. So I’m not sure how it ended. I kept telling myself to film it, but I wasn’t quite sure what it was at first. It all happened so fast.
