| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sam A |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | USAF Weather Observer and Weather Recon Experience. Also, the delay in the report is because I was on a Deer Hunt. Beautiful sight. I was in deep shadow of the mountain to my East. The sun had the mountains to my west lit up in a Turquoise sky. Just happened to be watching a hawk overhead as the ball first appeared. So, I was able to follow it for much of its transit. |
