Full Report Text:
On Valentines night we were on the interstate going home after eating out in Fargo ND when suddenly we witnessed an explosion in the sky at a very high altitude. It caused a bright green flash that lit up a small section of the night sky and quickly subsided. My wife had said did you see that, I replied yes, and to keep track of the time so we can check Heavans Above.
com to see if that was an Iridium Flare or some other type of celestial event. I checked and could not find anything that occured at precisely 20:17. The night was very dark with a lot of stars visible.
No moon present, brightest object in the sky was Venus which was to the West. The explosion looked like a glowing donut for a second then shrank really fast into nothing. There was no streak of light no meteor tail or anything just an explosion/ flash of light then nothing.
There were other car cars on the interstate at that time so this may not be the only report.
