Reports Report 5331c (Event 5331-2023)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Stefán S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving in my car home when I noticed a bright streak of light right in front of me in what seemed to be quite a distance away. The streak of light lit up the sky slightly, but the terminal flash at the very end lit it up even more. The evening had become quite dark at this time, so the whole thing's brightness was clearly visible. |

| Remarks | The strike was fairly short and moved incredibly fast with a relatively large flash at the end. The flash was very bright and lit up the light-scattered clouds at quite a distance from me. The flash lasted for about a second and seemed to have some bright colors in it. |
