Reports Report 1148af (Event 1148-2019)

Observer
Name Tim S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks We had some light cloud cover at the time, and I thought I was seeing lightning at first as there was flashing from above in the clouds. That would have been odd seeing as how we had been having light snow showers earlier here throughout the day and seemed too cold for thunderstorms. I looked up and immediately saw the fireball to the SSW as described earlier.
