Reports Report 2443cr (Event 2443-2025)

Observer
Name Sydney L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks When I first saw it, I didn't know what it was. It was so big and bright that it looked like a firework that someone had set off in the neighborhood I spotted it above. It seemed very low, and it wasn't high enough to have disappeared behind the mountains. I was a passenger in a car, so I didn't hear anything.
