We were near Vantage Washington. The Gorge amphitheater either had a show or was testing the lighting for the next night lasers in the clouds and such. Came out of the tent after a few minutes and I told my son it looks like the show was over. And as I looked straight up above our camping area, it became daylight for at least 2 to 2 1/2 seconds from the media burning up intensely bright.
