Location: Westfield, NY, USA

Shape:


It was a light that brightened and returned to nothing within 2 seconds on 07/06/2020 approximate time was 22:30 in th3 SSE.

This was not a craft. I was walking my dog at 22:30 (approx), and there was a whitish yellow flash in the SSE SKY. It was two seconds long, and it got bright an$ dimmed to nothing in 2 seconds. The Moon was so bright, the planets were not bright, but this was brighter than the surface of the Moon. It was about 50 degrees above the horizon. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I watch the night sky constantly. It was fairly large in size, but would cover about 1000th o& the Moon’s surface. I thought it could be a distant Supernova, but I know it wasn’t. I think it may have been o; of the radio bursts that they are studying. This was brighter and larger than Beetlejuice on a New Moon night. It was beautiful, and I will be watching that part of the sky every night from now on. It was a very unusual occurrence. That’s all I have to report.
