Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | From a non-scientific standpoint, the capture was completely incidental. I was alerted to a stray black cat on my front porch via my Ring camera. I opened my front door, peering through the glass storm door to see if the visitor was still around, to my astonishment I observed this bewilderingly beautiful flash in the sky. I’ve watched the video many times in awe. Fascinated by the occurrence, I’ve researched bits of information along the way attempting to learn more about what I witnessed. I stumbled upon the site just this evening and am happy to share my experience with you. I hope my feedback is helpful and would be interested in any additional information (ie type/named event, random etc) your expertise can provide. Also, I apologize in advance for the authentic surprise reaction, as can be heard in the video (it may have scared the stray cat, who can be seen running away on the side walk.) |
