What was also happening that afternoon
- A magnitude 3 earthquake was recorded 13 km SE of Bucoda, Washington at 2003-08-25 21:45 UTC. (USGS)
- Venus was 48 degrees above the horizon at magnitude -3.8, bright enough to be mistaken for something else (computed)
Were you there?
Both answers are useful, and the second one more than people think. If you were outside on 2003-08-24 in that part of the world and saw nothing at all, say so. A record that only collects sightings can never be argued with.
