It blew my mind on how close it appeared. It was right above the tree line it seemed. The whole outside lit up. I didnt know anything was occuring so it was confusing at first. Afterwards i still didnt realize what i had seen until i saw a few postings. My brother in law brought over the video an hr or so later of the yard off to the side.

Remarks
It sounded far away but it was only a min or less after seeing it. Sounded like a sonic boom but when i saw it it was right above the tree line. Looked liked you could reach up and touch it.
