Reports Report 3434fz (Event 3434-2013)

Observer
Name Paul H
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Cloud ceiling at about 3000 ft. This event was happening at or below this height as no other stars were visible at the time. I could see it passing between the cloud layers. Lit up neighbors homes and street like a distant strobe light as it had several flashes. This caused me to look skyward.
