| Remarks | We were driving at night. The car first lit up from behind us and we looked to the left, and the sky was bright as the sun with a fire colored object followed by a very long train of white/orange/blue across the sky. I have never seen anything like this in my life. I thought it was a bomb exploded brighter than any fireworks I have ever seen. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The sky lit up, and as I glanced to the left out my car window I saw what looked like an explosion, flash with a very long trailing light.....and it eventually disappeared low in the horizon, behind large cypress trees on the horizon. It lit a huge hay field we were driving by at night. |
