Reports Report 225bk (Event 225-2026)

Observer
Name Melissa W
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I noticed this on the way to work. I checked Facebook a few hours later and there were multiple posts from Rives Junction FB page of people stating they heard a big boom between 0645 and 0650 AM. Which correlated with my siting time. I can take screenshots of where people heard the boom come from. Where people heard the boom was north of where I had my siting at.
