    Brief but brilliant flash in night sky witnessed across vast stretch of Prairies

    SASKATOON - It was an incredible sight for anyone lucky enough to catch a fleeting glimpse Tuesday night of a very bright light that streaked across the sky above Alberta and Saskatchewan.

    Witnesses went on Twitter to report a multi-hued flash between Lloydminster and Saskatoon that lasted just seconds.

    One observer in Calgary who had a camera pointed skyward caught the flash northeast of the city and posted it on YouTube.

    A motorist driving just north of Saskatoon near the community of Martensville described seeing a ball of fire suddenly light up the sky.

    Other people reported hearing booming noises in the North Battleford region in western Saskatchewan. (CKOM)

      It was obviously a large meteor or a piece of space junk. Let the Alien theories commence! LOL!

        Even a small chunk of meteor can light up the sky for quite a distance.

      Typical AP reporting.... tell you something happened but provide no details.

      Didn't this happen a fear years ago near Lloydminster as well? I remember something being shown on Daily Planet and there was a call out for all people to review their security camera and dashcam footage so they could triangulate the event and build a timeline.

      I was hoping somebody else saw it. It was so fast I wasn't sure I saw it.

        You didn't. Now take a blue pill and return to the establishment Matrix.

      Electrical discharge in the atmosphere happens everyday on Earth, lightning and aurora for example. This is what these people saw, some manifestation of an electric discharge.
