It could have been from a rail gun in orbit, but more likely a laser weapon test or misfire if it came from a spaced based weapon...
no need for space based, have you ever seen those DEW planes?
but no, it wasnt an DEW its was something way scarier
and there have never been to my knowledge firing of DEWs for destructive propouse

Microburst more than likely. I can tell just by the way they are broken. It's happened a few times in my neck of the woods. Washington gets some pretty serious storms this time of the year.

If it were a rail gun or laser based weapon there would be scarification on the trees. No way it was either of these.

The trees were broken off.

Trees normally get uprooted.

To snap a tree like that would a sudden perpendicular force.

Breaking a tree off 15 feet or more above the ground is pretty hard.

A microburst would do this easily. Since a microburst is a sudden downdraft burst of wind it would snap the trees insted of uprooting them.

I'll defer to you on this.

But in my experience trees are pretty hard to break against the grain.

Pictures of Tunguska show the trees broken off at ground level.
