Has anyone in the South Okanagan reported a flare of bright light on the western horizon at about 1:45am? I was up for a bit at that time (couldn't sleep) and was sitting on my couch in the living room. I turned my head to the left and immediately noticed a bright flare (fairly large and spread out) in the horizon of the mountains that make up the area of the Apex mountain range. That's best I can describe where it was.
There was no lightning, thunder or rain at that time, before or after. I had been looking out the window during the half hour that I was up (between 1:30-2am) off and on and so would've seen anything else that may have been going on. It almost looked like what the immediate aftermath of a meteor hitting the earth would look like.
I went to jump up to get my binoculars but by then it was gone. It was the weirdest thing.
Anyway, thought I'd mention it in case something comes of it and there were more sightings.
