Observer
NameLinden M
Experience Level3/5
RemarksI was driving south on Highway 65, when I saw what I thought was lightning. I wasn't aware we were supposed to have any storms, so I leaned forward and saw a bright ball falling. It was cloudy, and I can't be sure that it was out of the clouds when it fizzled out or not.
