Reports Report 2281v (Event 2281-2021)

Observer
Name Justin C
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I work nights and am used to seeing these once or twice a year. Was a big bright white flash. Pilots were calling the tower 30 mins later after landing asking what it was. One was over Freeport and said 'the cockpit lit up like it was daytime'. I can probably find that ATC audio feed if need be.
