| Remarks | I initially was looking at the ground, and when it first appeared I thought it was lightening. It lit up the entire forrest. I looked up expecting to see a lightening bolt, but instead saw a streak still moving quickly across the sky. It then turned orange and fiery like an explosion and disappeared from view / stopped as such |
