The following observation occurred in rural Kern County California just East of Sierra Highway and North of Backus Road on November 19th 2020 at 2 AM. I was opening my front door, which faces North north-east, and my yard was lit up like there was an arc flash directly over my house. I have done some welding over the years and at best an arc flash from arc welding generally extends to around six feet. I live on two acres of land with my house is situated in the middle. This only lasted a few seconds at the most and the entire yard in front of me was completely lit up all the way to the edge. What I could make out of the shadows in that short amount of time appeared be from a light directly above my house. When it stopped I saw something like a fireworks rocket arcing to the north east and descend. It was green/gold in color and none of this made any sound. It was four days after a new moon. That night the intensity of this light was well beyond a! full moon or anything else I have ever observed. There are no power lines above or close to my house. Fortunately I was still under the eave of the roof. I can only assume that exposure to this intense light could cause blindness.
