Reports Report 206dn (Event 206-2018)

Observer
Name Andrew S
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I randomly was facing out of my bedroom window as I got into bed and was sure that there was a vehicle flashing spot lights at the house. This startled me into thinking someone was coming into the house. I had no idea it was a meteor until seeing the news this morning and realizing it happened at the instant I saw the bright lights. I think that the snow really amplified the effect. Super cool! Won't ever forget it.
