Thanks, Tony.

I don't think a gamma burst would explain something I happened to 
observe. Double checking, I see that I misstated the time (I forgot 
we are still on daylight savings time). The observation I'm trying to 
understand was made at approximately 2050 UTC. A brief, intense burst 
of cosmic rays of common directionality could explain what I 
observed. The phenomenon lasted for approximately 30 seconds.
