| Name | JUDY K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The instantaneous flash of bright light was something which I had never seen before. Literally, in the blink of an eye, would appropriately describe the light. It would be similar to when you have a decorative prism hung in your living room window and a sun ray would hit the prism's surface perfectly to flash a light. It was that kind of an occurrence. It was very different. |

| Remarks | a single sonic boom (not sure if it was delayed or concurrent) PLEASE NOTE: IT WAS A FLASH OF LIGHT, FASTER THAN A BLINK OF AN EYE, NO ACTUAL VISUAL ON THE METEOR, BUT FLASH OF LIGHT HAPPENED IN AN INSTANT AND ONLY THROUGH ONE WINDOW FACING THE NORTHEAST. I THOUGHT THE POWER HAD GONE OUT, AND HAD BLINKED BACK ON. THE LIGHT WAS AN INTENSE, DIFFERENT FLASH OF LIGHT. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT EVENT HAD OCCURRED UNTIL THE MIAMI TV STATION REPORTED WHAT HAD HAPPENED ON THEIR 4:30 - 5:00 PM NEWS BROADCAST. |
