Reports Report 3681d (Event 3681-2021)

| Name | thomas m |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Again, all I actually saw were two very bright bluish flashes that illuminated the ground, toward which my eyes were directed as I walked in the dawn twilight. The apparent source was overhead or behind me as I proceeded south. There are no streetlights on this lane, and no other apparent source of light. I was reminded of the illumination from a confirmed meteorite strike some thirty miles distant that I happened to observe in the mid-to-late 70's, though the illumination in that instance occurred in total darkness on a moonless night, and therefore seemed much brighter. |
