Reports Report 2908eo (Event 2908-2014)
| Observer | |

| Name | William G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was inside my house with the lights on when I saw this out the glass door in the back. It was glowing brightly enough to break through interior light pollution reflecting off the glass inside my house. It was way faster than any aircraft could likely move, but it was definitely not a streak. The brightness flickered a bit in intensity, which is consistent with meteor footage that I saw watching TV. I couldn't hear any sonic effects over the TV inside the house, but that doesn't mean there were no sonic effects. |
