| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Gabriella S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was standing near a tree when I first saw the bright flash, so my initial view was slightly blocked by leaves. Because of this I am not positive of which direction it was going. But I think it was going from my right to my left (I was facing Main Street). |
