Greetings,

Last Saturday night ( I thought it was closer to 10:00 rather 
than 10:45, but I could be wrong), I did see flashes in the sky 
from the South. I am in central California, so it does match up 
with the report below from Colorado.

My first impression was that it was lightning, but there were no 
clouds other than a fog blanket, so that didn't figure. Someone 
did say that the racetrack in Pajaro Valley below us had a 
fireworks display, and that's what it COULD have been. I 
dismissed it as that until reading this article. I have to 
mention that the "thunder" that followed sounded like real 
thunder, and not like firework noise. Perhaps like the 
concussion bomb fireworks which emit a bright flash followed by a loud 
boom, but this was less resolved, more "rolling".

I hope this helps a little. I'm interested in this, so if I can 
offer any more details, just let me know.

I'm subscribed to the meteorobs list as STAFF@METEORS.COM, 
so no need to reply; I'll just read the follow-ups.


Om clear skies,
