| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Beverly K |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I checked my radar app for lightning strikes, though I have never seen green lightning, and there was no thunder. I checked local news -though it is Saturday and few are out and about at that hour. I will check local Twitter accounts today for corroboration. The color and brightness made me think it might be a fragmented meteor. On the cloudy horizon, the hemicircles of the flashes were a ten, then a five degree radius.Very big flash-flash, pause, big flash. Maybe someone saw something where it wasn't cloudy- please notify me if there was an observer of it. Thanks. |
