Reports Report 1783a (Event 1783-2014)

Observer
Name Raymundo C
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was driving north towards the Thompson Dam when I saw it through the tops of the trees. It was very bright, define, and the tail lingered in the sky. It was far off but reasonably large, I'm sure others have seen it too, it was hard to miss. I know for a fact it was not fireworks.
