| Name | Jamie W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was outside with neighbors who also witnessed the event. We all saw it, heard a boom, saw a flash. Some saw green, I saw blue. We are all speculating about the boom and flash to follow. I have been looking for any information to explain this event and I can not find any information. Information would be greatly appreciated! |
