Reports Report 4424cw (Event 4424-2022)

Observer
Name AK N
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving west on Sellman Road and I was coming up on a tree-covered section. It may have continued farther/longer than what I saw because I lost it in the canopy. First saw it almost directly above; it was probably visible from behind me initially. Looked bright white with electric green/blue sparks at the edges.
