Standing on the dam of lake Buchanan in Texas looking to the south west and saw a large globe of light that looked like it exploded with a lot of light but no sound. I think it was ball lighting.
Depending on when that was Ray, could it have been the re-entering of the space shuttle? Several years ago, two different friends in Texas hill country said they saw the shuttle re-enter the atmosphere. I suppose maybe people could see it from most of the continent, but I only heard those two reports. They both said it was the most incredible "night sky" sighting they'd ever seen.
