Reports Report 525a (Event 525-2017)

Observer
Name Stephen E
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This is the first time I have had a chance to sit down and report this after seeing the event... so several days have passed and my recollection of direction, heading and trajectory are slightly off but I was in my vehicle and I know where I was at on the road and where I first saw it and the windows I saw it out of my car so that helps...
