Anyone else see the green to pink flash of light across city around 6:45. Lit up everything for a split second. Kind of cool looking.

Apparently was a meteorite but feel free to begin with the conspiracy theories.

Don't really have any theories - sorry. Just thought it was kind of a cool thing to see. Was such a bright flash, made you go "wow what was that" Lit up everything ahead of me from solid all the way right to to all the way left as far as I could see. Missed the tail that everyone saw -- I only saw the colorful flash.

I missed it. I sleep in for the first time in months and miss out on something cool. That extra hour of sleep wasn't worth it.

Ahahha!!! I never get any sleep myself either but I did see something similar in San Antonio when I was out running at 8pm a month ago.

I seen it too. I was walking in front of a building at work and everything got bright for a split second. I was expecting to hear a loud bang from a transformer but didn't. So I looked up and seen it in the sky. Pretty dang cool.
