Reports Report 1037ff (Event 1037-2015)

Observer
Name Jim C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have heard that other people locally saw this in a similar way, we were driving and it seemed like it was coming down so close I was concerned when it hit the ground it would be close and may be dangerous. The other people I have seen posting mentioned the same exact time 9:30 and they thought it was close too yet they were in some cases 50 miles from us.
