Got up to close bedroom window before heading to bed. Clear night, full moon, I noticed something in the sky, it took me a second to realize what I was looking at. I started yelling for the other people in the house as I ran to grab my phone. I ran outside into the back yard away from any interfering light source. I managed to capture 22 seconds of decent video of the object, watching it just disappear...

Saskatoon, SK · Canada
Shortly before noon today I was working at my computer in my home office when I was interrupted by a single bright flash of light outside my window. My computer is situated below a large north-facing window that gives me a clear view of a large portion of the sky, from about 50 degrees up to a little below the horizon, and about 50 degrees toward the west and somewhat less than 10 degrees toward the east. I wear reading glasses to use my computer. The flash of light was high enough that I saw it above the frame of my glasses, i.e., it definitely was not something on my computer screen. The flash seemed to originate from a point outside of my field of view, very high up in the sky. It appeared to be about as bright as a flash of lightning would appear in the semi-darkness of a thunderstorm. However, the weather outside at the time of the flash was sunny and clear with a cloudless sky . It was a very bright flash, indeed. The duration was very short, perhaps the way one would perceive a camera flash or a blink. For a moment, I considered that I had imagined it or that it could be a sign of an eyesight problem such as a detached retina. However, when I mentioned to my wife during lunch that I had seen a flash, she remarked that she had seen it, too. When it occurred, she was sitting in our living room, at the opposite end of the house, where the windows face south. She was seated away from the window, facing the interior of the house, i.e., north, so she was not in a position to see where it originated. Unfortunately, it did not occur to me to record the time of event. I only remember that it was shortly before noon. I checked our local power utilities to see if there have been any electrical outages. They post updates very quickly on their websites and on twitter. But they reported no outages or other problems today. I have seen transformers explode, and they make a very bright flash. I'm inclined to think that this could have been a meteor or bolide. Nothing of the sort has been reported on the news yet, but perhaps we'll see something later today. I thought I'd leave this report with you in case you receive other reports.
