Reports Report 1940bl (Event 1940-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | John W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I didn't really see it moving across the sky. I looked up after I realized the first light wasn't a car pulling up the driveway next door (the light moved). What I saw was a yellowish dot that then splintered off like lightning, just with very short and contained "bolts", then it disappeared. As it splintered off there were 2 more flashes, but not as long in duration or brightness as the first one. |
