Bright flash of light exploding off the horizon into space - Washington, DC
Traveling south down 13th Street NW in Washington DC (a few blocks north of U street), I saw a an amazing flash of white light explode off the ground from the horizon upwards into the air/space and disapear. The entire affair lasted about 1/4 of a second but I am confident I saw something - what it is that I saw, I have no idea. I am confident it was not some reflection off of the car window.
The size of the flash was quite narrow - if I had to guess the distance, it would be five to ten miles away from where we were driving. The size of the flash might be the equivilant of a nail in the wall viewed from five feet away.
I was traveling in the passenger's seat and the driver unfortunatly did not see the flash.
