Reports Report 3208f (Event 3208-2017)

Observer
Name Nicole L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was so mesmerised by what I unexpectedly saw, that I had to report it and find out about what it was. It was large and looked like bright electric. It was so quick and yet I can still picture it! It did not look like meteorite showers that I had seen before. It was very beautiful and sudden.
