| Name | Cheryl F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The flash caught my eye while sitting in my living room across from large windows. I believe that because of the location I was viewing it from I did not see the full trajectory. The light flash I saw appeared to be pretty much horizontal with the brighter 'firework' type of display near the center (see information entered on previous page). The horizontal flash was pretty long length-wise (but unfortunately not in time). I do not know if there were clouds in the area that may have caused a reflection giving the horizontal flash. I do know it was NOT fireworks, it was VERY bright, and my view was short-lived. It was very interesting, though! |
