| Name | Grace |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I only saw a flash (as I submitted to your website), but New Hampshire’s only commercial TV station, WMUR, posted an article – and great webcam PHOTO which was taken by a webcam monitoring a bridge over the Piscataqua River on the Maine/New Hampshire border. Additionally, there are many COMMENTS following the WMUR website article, and lots more on WMUR’s FACEBOOK page that may provide you with helpful info, too. See ARTICLE and WEBCAM PHOTO HERE: http://www.wmur.com/news/30567996/detail.html Hope this helps! |

| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | No |
| Duration | -1s |
| Length | -1° |
| Remarks | no train visible. I only saw the VERY BRIGHT white FLASH from behind the trees at the top of the hill (see position as pinned on your map). Bright as a single flash of lightning would have been if it struck entirely behind the trees. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | after I rounded the bend, I looked up the hill and to the right of the roadway where there was a single lightning-bright flash behind the trees at horizon line. (I pinned the spot on your Google map) I didn\'t notice any fragmentation, but the flash appeared to extend above the trees into the night sky in a arch / semi-circular pattern. It silhouetted the trees dramatically and was all gone in 1-2 seconds. |
