I live in north central Kansas and the other night I was sitting out on our front porch I was looking up at the sky to the north and I saw a bright flash that appeared above the tree line that resemble a picture of the sun with the black spot in the middle. It had a ring around it like you would see in a Soho picture where they block out the sun. The ring around it was like fire. The object then went dark and I could visually see a much smaller light on a Northern heading. It flared once more then was gone from sight completely.
