Blinding Flash and then extreme velocity vertical takeoff of object.

On August 18th ,2001, I was traveling Nwest on highway 30 toward Rock River,WY at about 2230hrs, when a extremely bright flash such as a explosion of some sort, it was so bright it made my headlights on high beams ineffecetive for it was as bright as full daylight. It was a bright orange flash then a object left at a extereme rate of speed verticaly and escaped the atmosphere in less than 1 second! This stretch of road is usally pretty desolate aand I do not know of any other traffic other than another lonely motorist that I passed as I came into Rock River. I have seen explosions before and nothing other than a nuclear blast from my military training is or as bright as this incident. I am aware of other incidents in this area for many years of which are documented I do not know? Any one else who experienced this event may e-mail me at ((e-mail address deleted)).com.
