Reports Report 1451b (Event 1451-2012)

Observer
Name Larry N
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was so quick that my son & I couldn\'t really get a fix on it if it was close (within a few miles) or something very far away.It was quite bright. I\'ve been searching for any news reports but nothing so far. It probably was seen in lower mainland BC (Vancouver region) and if it was quite high, could have been seen on Vancouver Island as well.
