Reports Report 1878av (Event 1878-2014)

Observer
Name Debbie L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Just before I saw it, the sky lit up like it does when there is lightning. I remember thinking it was strange that I saw no lightning & there was no storm. Then I saw a very bright ball of fire with a tail in the sky! Wow! It was awesome. I never saw anything like it!!! Wish I had a video of it, but how could I have known?
