Reports Report 5441adh (Event 5441-2020)

Observer
Name	Penny B
Experience Level	1/5
Remarks	This happened right above my back yard as I was standing on my back patio letting the dog out. For a few seconds, I wondered if I should hurry up and get in the house because it seemed as if something large was heading to earth....and then it fizzled out. It started as what appeared to be a bright bolt of lightning and then turned orange/red. It was an amazing experience!
