| Remarks | a quick entry as it was heading down and to the north and it seemed to break in two and change illumination with the break up esp the color and faded after. My daughter was hiking on little mountain in mt vernon, washington and texted about 30 minutes after the event to see if i had seen it as she had and knew i was on a beach with a good chance of seeing it as well. |
