Reports Report 1750xj (Event 1750-2016)

Observer
Name Linda P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The bright light woke me up from a sound sleep. I thought a plane was dropping out of the sky at first. It was big and bright enough to light up my bedroom. It looked like it fell from the sky in to the lake, but I heard no sound. It was a huge uneven shape of white light with a thick white light tail.
