Name | Edison F |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | This was definitely something I won't forget, just the sheer brilliance of light passing over was so awe inspiring, I almost did not want to capture it on camera, and the seconds between that thought and actually trying to get the phone camera set up were enough to watch it fade into the darkness. But I recall it vividly and haven't been able to pull up any reports about it. Nor have seen images of something similar. |

Remarks | It had a trail as it passed and as soon as the front/nose of the flash disappeared, the trail soon followed. I don't know how long it passed before I caught it in my peripheral to my left while driving, it was at about my 11 o'clock sitting in the drivers seat. I tried to get my camera set up so it was mere seconds, and I hoped it would reappear but it did not. |
