Reports Report 3151fx (Event 3151-2019)

Observer
Name Katie G
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Ive never seen anything like this before. If my mom weren’t with me, I think I would have thought I was losing it. It was a huge flash of light - like lightening brightening up the sky, then came the huge shooting ball of light straight from my left side windshield, all the way across the sky to where I couldn’t see it any longer. What struck me (aside from its being so large and bright) was how low it seemed. Very cool!
