Reports Report 2132apd (Event 2132-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Zettalee D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was standing on my back deck last nigh (September 27th) at approximately 11:30 PM. I saw two huge extended flashes in the Southeast (toward Ohio), and at first I thought it was an electrical discharge from a thundersorm in that direction...but then I saw that there were no clouds on the horizon. I was not sure what it was, but as I saw online about the reports made about the fireball exploding over Ohio, I knew then that this is what I saw...all the way from West Michigan! |
