| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Steven F |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Was a remarkable color change , appearing near horizontal or slightly downward from east to west I am guessing around 40 degrees above horizon, just west of a north facing. Saw it while driving and if it had not moved in direction as seen would have looked like a firework going off, but angle and speed was all wrong for that. Appeared 5 to 8 degrees of arc travel. |
