Remarks I was cleaning the floor, facing south. An extremely bright light through the window looked like white sparkles, left about 20 persistent afterimages on my eye, they were pointlike.

Remarks I was cleaning the floor, facing south. An extremely bright light looked like sparkles, left about 20 persistent afterimages on my eye, they were pointlike. The afterimages lasted 5 minutes. I did not even realize the light came from outside - thought I had imagined it, was having a migraine, was hit by cosmic rays or something - except the afterimages were real - until I learned many others had seen a fireball.
