Reports Report 1641am (Event 1641-2015)

Observer
Name Andrew G
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This flash was pretty astonishing to see. My fiancé and I couldn't have had a better view. We were looking right at it when it happened. It looked like God was taking a picture of us with one of those old timey flashers. I was hoping for a boom but it never happened. Unfortunately it was too far away.
