light clouds made it difficult to observe the entire event. Lasted only a few seconds. Seen looking west on RT 28 heading into Indian Lake NY. Moon this morning was a bright waning gibbous but this event was easily brighter than a full moon for its brief time in the sky. My friend and I were driving so we were unable to record / photograph.
