Reports Report 3151abh (Event 3151-2019)

Observer
Name Michele A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw a green to purple flash to the West 3 seconds before I saw the yellow flash directly overhead in the southern side of my house. I thought the first flash that had a tail was a firework but there was no sound just an arc in the sky from left to right. Then the explosion looking one overhead. It was surreal.
