Reports Report 5048p (Event 5048-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | John S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This is the second time I have seen a similar light in roughly the same place late at night (first time was more to the South in my field of vision), both times coming back home from the same IHOP. The first time was before I had a dashcam, so probably some time last year though I have no idea specifically when beyond that. I couldn't tell if anybody else had seen either occurrence. |
