About 6:00 am EST today (13 Jan) I went out to observe predawn the sky.
The temperature was 27degF. Sky high Clouds and hazy. The limited mag
was 3 to 4. I was out to 6:27 AM and decided to go inside. My location
is central Pennsylvania.
About the time I went in to the house -- lights still out -- I noticed a
bright flash mag -15(?) - the surrounding area briefly light up. At
first I thought a passing car or the other thought lightning. It lasted
about a 1/2 second. The brightness appeared to be from the north east.
I looked for a possible trail. Nothing.
Any other Mid Atlantic observers see a similar event?
Sorry about the spottyness of the details.
