He and some coworkers were headed east on their way home from the INL when the midnight sky lit up around them. Immediately they began to speculate on the origin of the light; all briefly thought, being site workers, that some sort of nuclear accident had occurred. Great to see the videos of the event!

A NASA scientist out of Utah says it was centered over the west desert, towards Wendover.
