Night sky lit up like daylight.
Sometime last spring- I beleive it was toward trhe end of April, I was driving on the Interstate highway between Cape Girardeau, MO and Cairo, IL. I was perhaps 10-15 miles away from Cairo when the night sky lit up like daytime. It was very strange as it stayed lit for approximately 8-10 seconds. This was reported on a local radio station as having lit up the entire area of Southern Missouri and Illinois. They claimed it was a meteor. If so it was a very very bright one. It seemd to be very strange at the time but I had forgotten it until I recently heard about the instance in New Mexico and it sounded just like the same type of event. At 44 years of age, I have never experienced anything like this before.
