| Brilliant light over the Catalinas I was standing on my front porch looking north over the Catalina Mountains. While standing there, I saw what looked like an exploding star or nova. A couple of things ran through my mind actually. I thought it was either a nova, a meteorite heading directly for me, or a flare of some sort. I have seen many flares, and none were ever blue/white. The light got real bright and appeared to grow in size, it dropped slightly in elevation, and then flashed out. I am only reporting this to see if anyone else witnessed it, or knew what it was.
