| Name | John K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was looking up at the night sky from my sleeping bag out side, wondering if daylight was approaching since the stars were not as bright. From the left side of my vision the sky lit up like a small super nova. I thought the bright moon had crested the hill but when I looked to my left there was a super bright ball of light that then streaked to the left with a thick short tail of greenish/blue light. It was enough of an event to yell to my girl friend who was sleeping in the tent, and she awoke to see the tent lit up like someone was shining a flashlight at it. |
