| Remarks | Sounded like a crack of lighting, but not quite. I was outside looking at guy plowing the lot when I saw it. It was two distinct flashes. I don’t know how I could have seen theMichigan meteor, but I think it was because of where I saw the light, the fact it was two flashes right next to each other, and it was stop low to be snow lightning. |
