Reports Report 5105aa (Event 5105-2018)

Observer
Name Randy G
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I noticed it over the tree line and it looked like it fell less than 400KM from me into an intersection just off of 237 where I was commuting to work. I got passed the tree line to make sure it wasn't from a building or something but there were ZERO structures it could have "fallen" from. It was beautiful!
