Observer
Name Lucy G
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks A lady on Nextdoor app said she saw a flash when at the Rosebowl and she saw it. ??? I messaged to ask her if it was heading north west. It was exciting to see. I saw one other years ago disappearing over the San Gabriel Mountains from Altadena. It was a little bigger and lasted a bit longer.
