Observer
Name Amy P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks While I did not see the fireball in the sky, the flash that it produced was so remarkable that I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like the green flash around me before! I was sitting in my truck with the lights on in a field, and the flash made me think I was being spotlighted. Lol. It lit the world up! My dogs even startled!
