Reports Report 886i (Event 886-2016)

Observer
Name Linden M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was driving south on Highway 65, when I saw what I thought was lightning. I wasn't aware we were supposed to have any storms, so I leaned forward and saw a bright ball falling. It was cloudy, and I can't be sure that it was out of the clouds when it fizzled out or not.
