| Name | Eric H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Not much really. I was out for an early morning walk with my dogs, I paused to let them do their business, and I was just kind of looking off over the horizon at the stars when I saw this very abrupt flash in the sky. It looked almost like a greenish, blue, tinged with orange feather. Almost the type of feather that you would find in goose down comforter or pillow. I have never seen that before. Strange thing is that I put it out of my mind until I was flipping through some pages in my journal that I write in from time to time, otherwise I would not have known the date, and time. I have to be honest when I say that my exact time is off by a minute +/- based on when I was able to get to a street light to see the hands on my watch to discern what time it was. |
