Multi color lights light up the night sky and temporary disable radio.

While driving home at 1:30am on September 15th I saw one bright flash of white light that lit up the entire night sky white. The car radio then went to static so I assumed lightning had struck a radio tower, but then the entire night sky, absolutely all of it, lit up bright red for 5 seconds then bright blue for about one second and then another bright white flash.

After the final white light the radio came back on and no other lights after that. I can’t think of any man made light source that could light up the entire sky that intense, and I regularly drive past airports that project light into the night sky but nowhere near that amount.

This happened on a highway passes by mostly residential neighborhoods and at least 10 miles from even the smallest airport let alone the large one on the other side of Richmond City.

By the way, I was listening to Coast to Coast Am at the time.
