Reports Report 1981p (Event 1981-2015)

| Name | Tad T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | My daughter saw the same event - she described it as sparkly, but I remember it being more like a slash of fire, then a bright round flash. We were watching a concert at the Stone Pony (we were outside the venue on near the boardwalk, looking at the outdoor stage) and this happened essentially right over the stage. There were a lot of people outside, and of course a thousand or so inside the outdoor arena. I would imagine others would have seen this too, though of course it was very very quick. |
