Reports Report 25ce (Event 25-2026)

Observer
Name Tracy S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks We were traveling north on I-55 in Southaven MS when we saw the Green light falling left to right. It grew in intensity as it fell and terminated just above the tree line from our view point. It exploded and fragmented with many sparks flying. I saw a report with video around the same time from the Ozarks they had a straight coming at them view. We had the perfect view of it straight on left to right. I hope someone local got a video.
