LIGHT FLASH OVER SEATTLE 5/O3/13 1:05AM THURSDAY NIGHT / EARLY FRIDAY MORNING

FROM THE CORNER OF 15TH AVE NW. AND 80TH AVE NW. IN NORTH BALLARD, WA OR (CROWN HILL). A FLASH OF LIGHT WAS SEEN TO THE SOUTH. NO SOUND WAS HEARD. A SHOOTING STAR WAS SEEN WITHIN 5 MINUTES AFTER THE LIGHT FLASH. NO OTHER LIGHTS OR UNIQUE SOUNDS WERE SEEN 30 MINUTES AFTER. I THINK IT WAS OVER LAKE UNION. IT WAS A WHITE FLASH OF LIGHT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A TRANSFORMER BLOWING UP. MAYBE THE AIR WAS IONIZED AND IGNITED? I MAY HAVE HAPPENED OVER BALLARD HIGH SCHOOL , IT MAY HAVE HAPPENED OVER 36TH AND PHINNEY (IN FREMONT). ME AND SOMEONE ELSE SAW IT TOGETHER AND COULD NOT SHUT UP ABOUT IT FOR 30 MINUTES AS WE LISTENED FOR AND WATCHED FOR ANOTHER OCCURRANCE. NO CRAFT WAS SPOTTED.
