| Name | Jason S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I really tried to be clear about these details. Since this is all the approximation of someone who knows nothing about these things, I'm picturing you guys looking at the data and rolling your eyes, or finding that it's not probable or something. I can say that two other people saw it with me, with a handful of others who actually heard it, and saw the glow against the side of the house, but when they turned around it had gone. It was very clearly not a firework, airplane, or anything else like that. It was astonishing, and the three of us that seen it from beginning to end can all say we've never seen anything like it. It was actually a little unsettling, how big and loud it was, but it was beautiful, the literal definition of awesome. I really hope there is at least one more account of this thing. As you can see, it's two days later and I found this site because I'm still googling it to see if it was reported anywhere. Thanks! |
