Reports Report 4549b (Event 4549-2024)

Observer
Name Miriam W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was so beautiful! I could see flame, and after it crossed the road, there were a few sparks and it seemed to go dark. I think I could see an object in front of the flame. It didn't seem to leave a trail, and it felt like it came down considerably nearer to me than the Ranges. Wishing I had dash cam!
