Reports Report 2305y (Event 2305-2014)

Observer
Name Karen M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The light was so bright it woke me from a light sleep. I thought it was lightning at first, but the the light did not diminish for 3 or more seconds. There was also no sound as would be associated with lightning afterwards. As I was not fully awake I'm not sure how large the globe was. Stars became visible immediately after the fireball disappeared.
