Blue light lit the whole sky at night on the highway, like it was DAY

One night argueing in the car, my husband and I seen this BRIGHT round BLUE light, that disapeared, then we said, "Did you see that? And as we starred in AWE and shock..it lit up the whole sky, you could see as far as your eyes would allow you too! It was like it turned daytime with the flick of a switch. Then flick, it was gone, no light, no trail of it at all.. and i never heard anyone talk of it, so i didnt report it, everyone on the highway for miles and miles had to of seen it.

NUFORC Note:

We wonder whether the witnesses might have observed the object that was reported from all over the eastern U. S. on the night of Tuesday, March 15, 1995. It was a very dramatic series of sightings, which stretched from Virginia to Missouri, and which occurred over a very short period of time, perhaps as little as 10-15 minutes. This is one of the cases that I feature in the NUFORC public presentation, which is accompanied by photographic slides. PD
