Reports Report 2187mg (Event 2187-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Harv H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I originally thought what I saw was "heat lightning" but realized there were no storms anywhere in the NE that night, so I was perplexed. Over the following days I saw reports in the media about the fireball seen at that time, and realized that what I saw was probably from that event. |
