Reports Report 978ff (Event 978-2021)

Observer
Name Justin R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I also saw what kind of looked like an airplane with landing lights on prior to the event. I'm a frequent flyer and thought it was weird to see a plane in the sky as I was on the first flight of the day and it was coming a weird direction from the airport. After the flash I couldn't spot the "airplane" anymore.
