| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Nancy D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving home from work when I saw an interesting flash in the sky. When I got home (about 5 minutes after seeing it), I listened for sounds and looked around for bright glows close to the ground, but didn't hear or see anything more. It certainly got my curiosity going, wanting to learn more about it. |
