To be fair, it took me quite some time to figure out that is what I probably saw.

It doesn't take a very big rock to get plenty of light. The typical near miss rocks you read about every few months carry a kinetic energy equal to a few days world energy production (coal, gas, oil, nuclear, etc). A Chicxulub class object is about 1000 years of world energy.
