Reports Report 583an (Event 583-2016)

Observer
Name Ivanov D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving, when I saw it. The distance to it from my vantage point appeared to be quite small - not further than a spectator area for a fireworks show would be. I don't know if there was a sonic boom because I had loud music playing in the car.
