| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Turned to check out a noise in the bushes, then the area where I was just lit up. I spun arround to see if someone had a spotlight and then I saw it. At first it looked like it just came over the trees coming kind of towards me, I jumped back then realized it wasn't that close but it looked really close then fragmented and faded away. It was over in maybe 1 to 2 seconds, give or take a little. |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Bright flash caught my attention, I turned facing it, still very bright as it seemed to come almost towards me then it got dimmer as it appeared to split apart and disappeared. |
