Reports Report 2307dj (Event 2307-2014)

| Name | Vincent P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was dusk, overcast and I only saw a reddish-white flash, twice. I thought it might be lightning or a transformer but they were strange and no thunder like lightning and too far above the horizon for a transformer (the electrical transformers, not the toys or movies, as awesome that would be to see in real life from a safe distance. I asked my son if he saw anything all 3 times and he said no. He's 10 and was in the back seat. In summary, I did not see any fireballs, I saw flashes of strange light 3 times within a span of 75 minutes. I saw an article in the news today and thought I'd share my info. I hope it helps. |
