Reports Report 3434ako (Event 3434-2013)

Observer
Name Schultze B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The evening was overcast and there were light flurries in the air. When we first saw the flash we thought it was lightening and then waited for more. But the colors made us wonder. Then we joked about UFO's and wondered what we had experienced. Because of the cloud cover the flash was muted.
