Walked outside to my driveway. I looked up to see Orion. (NE) 75 degrees. Time approximately 6:04 There it was being obviously the brightest object in the night sky. Very bright. Blueish and White. It fluttered as if it would get even bigger and brighter but instead in 3 seconds it faded to nothing. Smoothly. Total viewed time 8 - 10 seconds. Could of been there longer, I did not witness it appear. At its brightest the size of a Nickle. It was stationary the whole time. At first I thought it could be a fireball, than possibly the ISS space station. But than I have witnessed both of those before and easily discounted those possibilities.This was bigger and brighter. It was an explosion in space or either it was a supernova. I never lost sight of it as I waited for 2 or 3 more minutes in case it occurred again. I believed for another few seconds it was a very very faint looking star,very faint, than nothing. My best guess based on everything I've seen and all I know. I would say it was an explosion in near earth space. It most definitely was viewed by others. How I feel about it is it wasnt the first time and it wont be the last. I bet if I get some Gen 3 nightvision the whole night sky would come alive.
