| Name | Harold C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I had been out onto the front porch maybe 15 minutes earlier and it was mostly cloudy with some peeks thru the clouds. It was actually to cloudy so I went back indoors..Almost immediately the dog wanted to go out, I let her out on the back porch and went out with her. I noticed it was still very cloudy then the sky lit up and it streaked off to the west. I never actually saw it but it had to be Very bright, as I could see the light thru heavy clouds. No explosion, no noise, lasted less than 2 seconds. Wish I could have seen it better. Would love to know if anyone else saw it. |
