Reports Report 4849ce (Event 4849-2019)

Observer
Name Lori D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving to work at 40-45 mph on Exchange Blvd. I saw it to my slight right. It was fast, lasted for a short time and I could have sworn it was green the red but, I think as I recall, it was only red and got redder as it went and then it looked like it fell apart with ember like fragments til it went out. It was long in length, enough to catch my attention. But lasted a mere few seconds. I looked around and wondered if anyone else had seen it. I figured not, since Hwy 316 didn’t have many cars and there was only one car behind me on exchange Blvd.
