Reports Report 72aa (Event 72-2014)

Observer
Name Alison S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I tried to get around a road cut to see if I could see where this went. It seemed it hit somewhere nearby but the other reports make me less certain. I was at an elevation of around 6890'. The time is approximate, as I was driving a mountain road at night and not looking at the dashboard. I am a naturalist and birder who is trained to take mental pictures of detail.
