Reports Report 1511mx (Event 1511-2014)

Observer
Name	Ginger H
Experience Level	4/5
Remarks	About an hour later I saw a strange streak of light go from top of sky to the west. It wasn't solid, more like a pulse beam of light. I have almost a 360degree unobstructed view and watch the sky nightly. Seen atleast 100 meteors in 6 years. I've never seen anything like what I saw last night. That light was very odd! Just realized I could report when saw report on news on FB.
