I had an odd thing happen this morning while out running.

This was about an hour ago, so around 4am. I'm in south western Arizona roughly within 20 miles or so of the California and Mexico borders.

I was out running, it was pretty dark this morning. No moon just starlight.

It was about 75°F and 20% humidity. No clouds at all.

There was this brief flash or pulse of a blueish/white light. I had the impression that it came from overhead, but I can't be sure.

There was no one else around, no traffic on the road.

I'm out running at the same time roughly 4-5 times a week and haven't seen anything like this.

I'm curious to hear thoughts from ATS.

Asteroid burning up in the atmosphere possibly. Sometimes it happens in a flash and can be missed.

A shooting star, I guess. Nice! Make a wish?

I'm going with Iridium Flare,



Satellite flare, also known as satellite glint, is a satellite pass visible to the naked eye as a brief, bright "flare". It is caused by the reflection toward the Earth below of sunlight incident on satellite surfaces such as solar panels and antennas (e.g., synthetic aperture radar).


Wiki

I've seen a couple, they're trippy

Thanks for all the replies.

I've seen lots of shooting stars/meteors while out running from a distance. I don't know how that might look closer overhead. But it was fairly bright.

The satellite idea sounds interesting.

Nope nope it probably wasn't iridium flare or meteorite this happen all the time they come out of nowhere the people at Nasa finally says they're catching them on camera and they're real fast I think some slower ones too.

The Iridium flares don't really flash they kind of schmooze

Couple years we go ATS threads were all over this everybody was chiming in seeing flashes out of nowhere in the night I've seen a bunch of them I was looking East from Dallas once the spotted one popping I figured over Louisiana

There are no more Iridium satellites of the flaring type. The last of them fell down last December. The new generation lacks the big panels. It's sad. I used to get a kick out of freaking out my friends.

Sort of symbolic. I guess.
