Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | I was driving in a car, I had a very clear line of sight of the event directly in front of my windshield, it was completely unobstructed by any object in the car or in the environment (no trees to block view), it was still very dark that morning, and the light/fire intensity was so very bright for a few fleeting seconds |
