Driving home from work later than normal. Just coming through a clearing where there are buildings on either side. I was at approximately Summer St (aka Rt 126) and when I went to note the time / date location after I realized what I saw I looked down and there is mile marker 9 on Rt. 126 (aka Summer St). All seen in less than a tenth of a mile driving at around 35-40mph and around 5 or 6 seconds of visibility. It's final flash was brighter than a street lamp enough to light up the tops of trees as it went out of view and I approached the intersection.
