Reports Report 1940e (Event 1940-2014)

Observer
Name Christopher B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This was bright. I was actually looking at the ground, and saw things get bright, like a flare was overhead. Looked up, just in time to see it flash out. Have had a similar (flare-like) experience only once before. That one was caught on video by some recording station, and was reported as occurring over Villa Rica / Bremen (?) GA, a couple of years ago on a Friday night, I think.
