Reports Report 1307f (Event 1307-2019)

Observer
Name Rob M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This was a brilliant day with clear sky so I was quite taken by how bright this thing was. Hwy 30 where I was is right next and parallel to I-80 so I would imagine several motorists saw this. I have a truck driver facebook friend that commented that he saw it to so I am going to see if he will give us his perspective.
