Reports Report 43jh (Event 43-2018)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Charles H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I knew it wasn't the Northern lights because the direction I saw it ( SE sky) was wrong, only lasted a few seconds and it was more white than green. Reminded me of lightning, but Winnipeg doesn't experience this at -25C and clear skies. |
