Reports Report 6029a (Event 6029-2018)

Observer
Name Sam S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks We went outside because a stray puppy had gotten tangled in the weeds and was yelping. I only looked up because I saw light reflecting in her eyes. We named her Holkulani, which means heavenly star in Hawaiian. The trees are 40 feet tall around us. Minor miracle we saw anything. It was heading out to the ocean.
