Reports Report 643a (Event 643-2026)

Observer
Name Nancy R
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks In the far left corner of the ring video, right where the word “Ring” is at 5:26:46 seconds you will see the fireball and train. What I personally observed was a much more distinct descending fireball with a train that definitely wasn’t snow falling.
