| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Keith T |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving and looking to the north. The sky was partly cloudy, so it appeared to flash from my perspective. Two flashes, extremely bright. I had time to turn and see the second flash. Bright enough and close enough, in fact, that I thought my car was about to be hit by something and I reflexed to take cover. |
