Reports Report 2132xl (Event 2132-2013)

Observer
Name Seth K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was in my home on my computer (with lights on around me) when I saw a flash outside. At first I thought it was lightning - which confused me as there was not even much cloud cover. When I heard reports of others seeing a blue meteor in the eastern sky last night I realized that must be what I saw.
