| Remarks | I was inside. It was quick. I would say the loud boom took me by such surprise the slight flash from the window was an after thought. I did see a strong bright light in the sky around 8:30 or 9:00 pm, before midnight 2/13, it was bright enough to catch my eye. It was steady, did not go away. I assumed an airplane at first but it was too bright. Settled on the assumption it was a satelite. It actually may have been a satelite but it was significant enough to catch my attention while driving. |
