[Welcome kirolo.]
The meteroite sounds right for what Quill experienced. I wonder how prevalent it is for atheists to fear the unusual or unexplained. If that flash had happened when I was with my mother growing up she would have said it was the devil beating his wife.
Personally I get excited when something happens I can't explain. Once, back when I was *ahem* experimenting, on a night walk with friends I saw something glowing beside the trail. I got down and stared at it expecting a bit of glass reflecting the moonlight or some such. But no, it was some lichen or moss. Come to find out when I asked at the ranger's station later there is one that glows in the Point Reyes Seashore. Go figure.
