| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was in a dark room facing our large window to the sky, I was reading a website on my cell phone when suddenly I looked up, unconsciously the light was so bright it caught my attention. It had a somewhat downward ark as though it were coming from behind or to the right of me down. It disappeared over the ridge and trees in front of me. My husband was outside no boom sounds, it was so big and a white hot center like a ginormous green flare. Unbelievable. Still in shock. Wish I could go find it. |
