| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Lori Z |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | When I saw the flash of light I was driving west on rt 276 near Bristol PA approx 11 pm or so. I was expecting to hear an explosion or crash, but did not. The flash was bright white and reminded me of the missiles I had seen on the news used to light up Gaza last month, but didn't last as long, arced slightly to the west from the north /northeast and in a downward direction until obscured by the trees, a few seconds.. When I got to my hotel I searched the internet to see if anything had been reported, but didn't find anything until today |
