I'm glad someone else saw the Friday night December 27th fireball flash as well. We were driving up to Bemidji on US-10 just south of Motley,MN. At 10:23pm about 5 miles south of Motley the sky flashed with crazy brilliance for about 5 to 10 seconds. Since I'm an astronomer my first thought was a fireball caused by a meteor (I always record the exact time when I see things like that). Unfortunately, it was overcast. All 4 passengers saw the very same and we all looked for it to come through the clouds or for a loud sonic boom. However, we didn't see or hear anything. I do not believe it was lightning or ground flashes based on the duration and the sky brightness.
This was confusing since the other sightings were on December 26th. I'm sure many others in MN saw this. What I'm not able to ascertain is just what direction it was going - would be great to hear from others in MN of what they saw. |
