Description: I was working on Saturday, March 29th 2008. The time was around 4:35 am. i Stepped outside for a smoke break and I was looking at the sky. I saw a blue light flash in a downward vertical motion. The flash was very brief maybe a second before it disappeared behind the tree line. I tried to find any information on meteor showers that night. I don't know what I saw. Maybe you can help.

Comments: The source of the flash observed by the witness is unknown. The witness stated that no thunderstorms were in the area at the time so lightning is an unlikely cause.
