A friend reported seeing a bright flash of light in the vicinity of pi1 and sigma1 Ursa Majoris June 8th or June 9th, from the Boundary Waters region in Minnesota near the border with Canada. I find no reports then or there of UAPs. There was no trail or sound. Could this have been a sporadic Northern Toroidal meteor seen head on? Thank you for any insight. Lonny
