Reports Report 3463d (Event 3463-2023)

Observer
Name Ellen W
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks An amazing sight - one rarely gets to see something so bright, as the sky was not yet dark, it seemed spectacularly bright and large (obviously vastly smaller than the moon, but far larger than Venus in terms of the flash size - maybe 20 times bigger though I don’t quite know what scale to use!
