Reports Report 7267h (Event 7267-2020)

Observer
Name Mary E
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was really hard to tell exactly how far away this actually was, but it looked very close (at least within a quarter mile or so). It was a very bright, sunny day, so this event would have been spectacular if it had been night time.
