Explosion of white light followed by the radio turning to static
This occurred late at night during the summer of 2002 . My best friend at the time and I had just graduated high school, and were cruising around Corvallis in her mom's van, smoking cigarettes, listening to music, and talking. After some time had passed she eventually turned onto highway 20 toward Albany. It is a rural two-lane highway, and there is nothing really besides a lot of farm land and some houses between the two cities. For reference, the Willamette River is approximately half a mile from where we were on the highway when this event occurred.
Shortly after we turned onto highway 20, an explosion of bright white light appeared on the right hand side, far into the distance. We were driving past a flat area of farm land at that moment, and I could see that the light appeared to come from the horizon. As soon as this happened the radio turned to static for several seconds. A couple of seconds after the radio came back on there was an even larger explosion of white light, and the radio went out for approximately 30 seconds. We were terrified at this point, and immediately turned around and went to her place. I never found out what the source of the light was.
