While star-gazing around 4 a.m. looking Northward, I witnessed a perfectly round explosion in the sky above a horizon star. The size of the explosion was approxmately 10-15x size of a star. No trails, just a perfect 1 second orange/fire colored explosion in the sky.
I also saw what looked like a satellite leave said area of the sky toward the East.
((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))
Thank you director!
I cannot be sure it was not an iridium flare, but picture of flares are
rarely perfectly circular.
This was a perfect circle, and in comparison to an average sized moon, id
say this blast was about 10-20% of the diameter of the moon.
The final logical idea I had was a perfectly aligned meteor that hit the
atmosphere at a magic angle causing the circular explosion.
Thank you for hearing and following up on my report!
