Reports Report 1695ae (Event 1695-2012)

Observer
Name Vicki N
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This is the second one I have seen in the last two weeks. I don't remember exactly when that one took place. I was driving South on 41, but I was 20 miles farther south. That one was much lower. The one today flashed right across my line of vision. I have never seen anything like this in my entire life!
