| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Troy S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We were watching television when we saw a bright flash followed quickly by a large booming sound in the southern sky. It was followed by another flash. At first we thought it was a transformer blowing, but after investigating outside and seeing power still on, I surmised it might have been a meteor air blast. |
