Reports Report 2697i (Event 2697-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Roger W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The only other one I've seen which appeared this close was in Corona, Ca about 1996 and like that one, I waited to hear a sound. I thought this one could hit between me and Big Bear Lake mountain which rises about another 5K feet above my location of just over 3K feet. It appeared too close to clear the mountain. |
