All I saw was the flash the video is from my security camera that picked it up as a still shot and it will not pick up lightning in a still shot there were storms that night but at the time the closest storm was over 100 miles away and there was no indication of lightning from these storms on radar. Consequently storms did not move into the area until over an hour after the sighting and there was no lightning in the area until over an hour later. Where the light seemed to have came from and was at in the video there's nothing back there for about at least a half a mile but woods no other light came from that area until the storms came in and even then it came from a different part of the sky and did not go downward there was no loud noise explosion or rumble when this flash happened. I don't know if it was a fireball or falling in space debris or I don't know what it was I know it was not an explosion in the woods and it doesn't appear to have been lightning. Maybe some kind of falling space debris I don't know if that's it or not I just thought I would submit it and let you guys make the decision because I know nothing about this stuff and you are the experts.

That's all I saw was a flash and it seemed like it went downward to the ground if that makes sense
