Observer
Name
Nicholle M
Experience Level
3/5
Remarks
It was so bright. I thought it was lightning then cracked the radar and it wasn’t so I thought someone was out back with a super bright flashlight trying to break in and sent my husband to look for the culprit. It was actually this streaking across the sky after all and not a burglar.
