Reports Report 1919i (Event 1919-2014)

Observer
Name Alice B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I first saw the light out of my peripheral view...my husband and I were hot tubbing. It was so bright I turned and saw this huge ball of light just above the trees. When I pointed it out to my husband he had missed it but as I was showing him where it was we both saw a very bright FLASH right where I saw it "land". Never saw anything like that in my life!
