Occurred: 2001-04-08 02:27 Local
Reported: 2001-04-08 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 3 Seconds

Location: Lackawaxen, PA, USA

Shape: Light

Brighter than a welders torch and diamond white!

I had just gotten out of bed and gone into my bathroom. That area of the house is at the South East corner with a small window of frostd glass facing South. I was half asleep and after using the faciltity had just leaned over to flush the toilet. Out of nowhere my eyes were filled with an intense bright white light. It was "intensly" bright. Brighter than a welders torch. I heard no noise but am not sure about that since the flush of the toilet was making noise. I went from a state of half asleep to WIDE AWAKE in about one second! I remember being so freaked by the intensity of the light that I said out loud "What((deleted)) is that?" I went to my dresser to get my glasses and went to other windows to see if something was outsde. I did not see anything and after getting up the nerve to open up the side door to the deck all I saw was the full moon above to the Southwest. It was somewhat covered by clouds coming out of the Southwest. It could not have been a trick of light from the full moon because the white light was way to bright for that. As I walked around the house looking out of windows for a couple of minutes I noticed that the time on the clock in the microwave just inticated that it was 2:30 A.M. The light seemed to be decending from above more than simply passing by. Perhaps it was only the remnants of a meteorite falling very close to the house.
