Reports Report 1041a (Event 1041-2012)

Observer
Name Clara
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was a very bright orange at first and then grew dimmer as it moved across the sky. Just as it was about to disappear beyond the treeline, it \"extinguished\" and it was as black as charcoal...just as visible against the dimming sky as it was when it was on fire.
