Name Jeremy S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was bright like a camera flash. At first I thought it was reflection from the TV or kitchen light then realized I saw it happen through a screen door with no reflective surface. Traveled an almost straight line with the direction heading from Fort Fairfield towards Caribou.
