Reports Report 3089a (Event 3089-2018)

Observer
Name Taylor L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I am positive it was not some kind of laser or spot light as I was smoking outside and had directly stared at it by accident as it flashed and could tell it was not being projected from the ground as a light seems, and I live in a rural area where that wouldn’t most likely happen
