| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was walking my dog and noticed it was a beautifully starlit night with some puffs of clouds. I was looking for the moon and didn't see it, when suddenly the clouds lit up as if there was distant heat lightening and a trail of light moved from what looked to be from the east to southwest, then disappeared. |
