Bluish-green, very bright flash of light toward the southeastern horizon.

Bluish-green, very bright flash of light toward the southeastern horizon. The event lasted about 2-3 seconds and seemed to flicker into a very intense glow and the faded out. I first thought it might be electrical transformer explosion in a town over the mountains from us and dismissed the event.

After listening to the Art Bell program and hearing the reports of an object streaking across the sky over northern New Mexico, the same night we saw the southeastern sky light up, I thought I should report what my wife and I witnessed.
