Reports Report 3230b (Event 3230-2015)

Observer
Name Joshua G
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I would consider it 2nd or 3rd most spectacular meteor I have seen. Attention was drawn to it because it resembled a small lightning flash. 30 seconds to a minute before this event someone in our vehicle saw just an ordinary, average meteor.
