Reports Report 2033p (Event 2033-2018)

Observer
Name Gene M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This is the second I've seen in less than 6 months, the other one was on the north eastern horizon associated with the sightings in Michigan Indiana as well as Chicago. I saw the exact same thing tonight night but I'd say a tad bit brighter. This was due east of me. I'd say it was centered over south bend Indiana ish... maybe Ohio???
