| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Larry O |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | By far the brightest bolide I've ever seen. I was absolutely sure it was lightning and thought it was within a kilometer or less. Light was very close to white, maybe a hint of blue. Timestamp on Nest cam was 12:11:37 - 12:11:40 in Holualoa (West side of Hawaii Island). I see reports of contemporaneous sound, but I listened very carefully and only heard what I thought might have been an associated faint rumble _at least_ more than a minute later, well after I'd given up counting. |
