Reports Report 1811c (Event 1811-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jonathan H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was indoors so I could not see the whole length of the event, just the part as it crossed from above the roof to its termination. The fact that it was so bright that I could easily see it in downtown Tacoma area was impressive. At first I thought it might be a military flare, being so close to a military base, but there were no aircraft in the area to deploy it and it burned out very quickly. |
