Probably not the best sighting. I was watching TV in bed and I saw a huge
flash of light through the window. It filled the whole window. I was trying to
figure out what it was when I heard a low sustained rumble about 2 minutes
later. The time was 2:26 AM PST on the atomic projection clock at the time of
the rumble. I can give positions of myself and the window if helpful.
I thought for sure I would read about something in the news today.
