Reports Report 2165fo (Event 2165-2014)

Observer
Name Adam S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was in an airplane approaching Sea-Tac airport. Right around the Enumclaw area, I looked out the window and kind of to the left and back to the east a bit was the orange/red/yellow dispersion of something. I thought maybe it was Mt Rainier spitting lava and surprising us all but I turned away then looked back and it was gone.
