Reports Report 3595a (Event 3595-2017)

Observer
Name Ed L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks My eyes were closed when the initial flash occurred, but I saw the light the same way you would if someone took a photo with a flash while you were trying to sleep. I opened my eyes and saw the object streak through the upper right hand corner of my center bedroom window. Pretty spectacular.
