Observer
Name Brian
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Must have been VERY bright. I was in bed facing a window with my eyes closed, but awake. I was startled by the bright flash even with my eyes closed, and it was still visible when I opened them, so it must have lasted a while. Brightest I have ever seen..
