I feel it important to note that the flash of the meteor was like nothing I’ve ever seen. As I mentioned in the report it was like the whole field I was in just blew up in light. More so like someone flicked a light on. I’m glad to have seen one in my lifetime and for reference I do see shooting starts in the area frequently.
Please also reply to me and let me know if there have been any more reports or if you want any more information I will gladly illustrate what I saw and describe more if need be.

Remarks
A bright flash that illuminated the whole field I detailed I was in when I saw it. Much like when I’ve been in the field when in Full moon but this was brighter. I wholeheartedly expected a lightning strike right after. It was that bright.
