Last night (this morning actually 01/18/88 at 02:00 Pacific time)
I was driving home from a friend's house and I saw a bright flash
on the horizon (west) that was in the blue end of the spectrum.
Similar to lightning in quickness and colour, but it was more akin
to a strobe (a really big strobe!) being fired off on the other side
of the coast range. At the time I was southbound on I-5, just outside
of Lodi, Ca.
Anyone know what it was that I saw?
(Travis AFB is to the west... any tests, accidents?)
thanks
