I was confused about how to enter the degrees in. I was traveling north bound on 125 over Thornton heading to Longmont. I saw a bright light and then an explosion. The light was on the west side of the interstate but above the mountains. I think at 65 degrees. I am curious if others saw this. It was pretty remarkable

the explosion was slightly bigger than the original light, I could draw it, it's difficult to explain
