Reports Report 8290l (Event 8290-2025)

Observer
Name WAYNE B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Several cars hit their brakes so i know they saw it too. it was extremely large and i expected to hear news reports but heard or read none. the light trail was many miles long. Being a pilot i know how deceiving distances in the sky can be so it is hard to estimate how far away i was or how long the tail was.
