I know that everyone will see Jesus arriving in the upper firmament:
Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

..and that He will be simultaneously visible to all:
MATTHEW 24
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

..so the doubting Thomases (or Thomasinas) are doubly wretched when they ejaculate "Oh but how could a Spaniard see Him when He was flashing over Japan?"
Will it be possible for any Saved person to have such thoughts about
coming out of the east and
shining even unto the west on That Glorious Day?
Could a manifestation in the firmament visible in Washington (but not in Canberra or Tierra del Fuego) [
i.e. a lesser event] be confuseable with The Rapture?
I have a friend who think's she may be concerned on this point and I'd like the committee's advice before replying.
