Reports Report 3168eo (Event 3168-2026)

Observer
Name Brittany E
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks We had the same reaction as if it was a car crash and thought we needed to stop and get out, but realized it was over a field. There was a guy on a tractor tolling or something at night and he was a field or two to the north. I wonder what he saw!
