| Name | Mark P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Was night fishing, it passed behind two thin cirrus clouds on way down and I had time to comment twice to my fishing partner so he turned in time to see the flash at the end, even he asked if that was lightning. It got dim then brighter twice on way down and also looked odd when behind the thin clouds cause it was still visible through the clouds. Very bright flash at end. Really resembled low bright lightning flash. |
