Flash over Washington, D.C. (above I-295 bridge), DC

The report, as filed

I had my wife make a hasty report as I was eating sushi in Epping, NH, because I didn't want it to go without being reported. The driver was a grade school friend of mine 37 years ago, known him my whole life. Going over a bridge on 295 there was two pulses of energy (Light) White flashes that was beyond anything ive ever seen. we both turned to eachother and said, "What ((deleted)) was that?" I understand they're a lot of hoax reports, but mine can be corroborated with a motorcycle police officer that had pulled over a car maybe a half a mile later on the left hand side of 295 north. These two light pulses were symmetrical in strength and time. It was almost like a picture flash but blindingly intense. Not sure if this was government or ufo, just wanted to file this, as I have never in my life been a part of anything like this. Still creeps me out. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he seemed to us to be quite serious about the sighting. PD
