Experience Level3/5
RemarksWas watching the SpaceX launch head over to the Wast when the sky to the North flashed so brightly that I turned and saw the fireball. I observed it for less than an additional second when it ended with a flash. It was so bright, it seemed nearby and I expected to hear a boom or something but heard nothing.
