Reports Report 1382dk (Event 1382-2016)

Observer
Name Lou D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks As my wife walked into the house and I saw the brightness behind me. I turned around and saw a long bright trail and a large white green circle leading over my pole barn. It looked like it landed into the woods by my house or the field down the road. It was extremely close! Amazing experience but my wife is mad she missed it.
