Reports Report 4635da (Event 4635-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Michael G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I'm just reporting I was looking east at Orion and saw the sky brightly light up, dim, and briefly light up again, within about a second. It was if there was a very large lightning strike many miles away. However, this was a clear cold evening. I checked NWS and there was no thunderstorm activity in the entire southeast. I did not see a fireball. The only explanation I can think of a big thunderstorm in the distance or a fireball exploding in the distance. |
