My boyfriend and i witnessed a bright flash of light followed by a rumble on June 3

In the early morning hours of June 3 i awoke because my boyfriend had been unable to sleep and was downstairs. I was concerned because he was gone a long time and rarely gets up in the middle of the night. I had opened my eyes and was about to head downstairs when i saw a very bright flash coming through the small window above my head. I waited to hear a car backing up as i assumed it had driven in our driveway. There was NO NOISE and it was eerily quiet. I instinctively looked at the clock which read 2:40 am which is very out of character for me. IN my head i heard that its important to note the time. Then i started getting worried because i thought of an alien ship and my boyfriends previous encounters with things unexplained. So i raced downstairs half expecting him not to be there. He was at the foot of the stairs which made me jump. I asked him if he saw the light and he said yes. Then we both heard a rumble and he exclaimed that it was probably thunder and lightening. I didn't believe that it was lightening since it was too bright. Intuitively i felt that it was much more than a meteor when i heard about it the next day. Inexplicably i have been trying to find out more information which would satisfy me...i have become rather obsessed i'm afraid.

I'm a contemporary ((type deleted)) artist, female ((fifties)) years old with a degree in ((social sciences)); my boyfriend is a ((exotic construction)) expert and is ((forties)) years old.

NUFORC Note:
