Reports Report 1750os (Event 1750-2016)

Observer
Name Erin B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I had just gotten back into bed after getting up to go to the bathroom when I saw the sky light up - bright as I've ever seen it! I thought maybe it was lightening & was waiting for the big "boom" but did not hear any noise associated with it. I KNOW I saw this but didn't remember it until I read about it just now on the internet.
