| Name | Matt J |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was very dark out. I was under the porch, facing north north east when I noticed the yard lit up twice, once bright and then about 1/2 second later another less bright. It was like a slow pulsing and was about as bright as lights we have strung up on the back patio on half or 3/4 of full dimmer. I realized I had to step to the left to see the sky and to find the source, Then I saw it going down and to the left. The trail was thin, then wider, then thin, then wider, but not as wide going from upper right to lower left. It was going from 1 to 7 on a clock. It was amazing how bright the yard got. |
