Saudi UFO - a light in the sky

Fragmentary reporting of an object seen in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. There are a couple of pictures of a bright object, no real details of anything discernible, but according the the reports the object made quite a hub-bub.

Some people thought the object crashed, but no one apparently saw it fall from the sky. Some reports of feeling "a large tremor" were the extent of the speculation. It happened 10 days ago:

"On Wednesday 7^th of January after evening prayers a loud noise was heard in the sky followed by the sighting of an intense large light heading from the west above the Al-Qasim region east of Saudi Arabia’s capital city Riyadh."

We checked the map and there are 8 references with variations to Al-Qasim on the map, so that is not very specific as far as we could tell. The second photo looks a lot like the moon, since the full moon was on the 11th of January. The first photo is partially obscured by clouds. And it is a surprise that there are not more photos of an object over a large metropolitan area. But a couple of photos are better than none.
