Reports Report 378b (Event 378-2026)

| Name | Eric G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Bright light appeared in the northwestern sky about 45 degrees above the horizon, then fell straight down to the horizon (well, behind the mountains past West Kelowna anyway). Lasted about a second. It was so large (biggest I've ever seen, way larger than I've ever seen Venus at its brightest) that I waited to see if there was a noise or an explosion or something, but there was nothing. |
