| Remarks | After the flash, I had to stop and back up to see it (car). I saw a multi-colored purplish, blue poof and a smoke trail for maybe a second or two. Then it was just a trail of smoke traveling across the sky. After the poof of color, it just looked like a normal trail of smoke across the sky. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I was driving and there were lightening flashes in the distance. Then, the entire area around me lit up almost like it was daylight for a split second. The light came from the wrong direction of the storm. I looked to my left and caught a glimpse of something in the sky. Slammed on the brakes, backed up (Trees blocked my view) to watch the rest of it travel across the sky. |
