| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I was standing in my parking between two buildings looking out at Saturn when a massive flash shot horizontally, spanning the gap between the two buildings. The parking lot lit up from the flash. This was about halfway between Saturn and the horizon line, give or take. The flash made a dark night look like daytime quickly passed through. |
