Observer
NameLynnette C
Experience Level2/5
RemarksI am not certain about the time or the colors. I was outside with my children around a bonfire, so I have no specific time to reference. I know I went inside to go to bed just before midnight, so it was a little while before that. The colors I'm not sure of, it happened fast and I didn't know it was something I'd want to remember. I know there were colors though. It was very bright, lit up the sky to close to daylight for a brief moment.
