Reports Report 5156bb (Event 5156-2019)

Observer
Name Lawrence H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The direction I was looking was facing up a relatively steep residential hill, which makes it difficult to judge relation to the horizon since I was not looking across flat ground. However upon seeing the flash, I braced to listen for what I was sure should be an impact. I was expecting something to crash down on the surface.. but later chalked it up to the distortion I had from looking up hill. The thing was damn fast.
