Green flash solid huge circle

Ya that realy freaked me out on how every thing seemed to be very simular, in all accutal reality it scared me I have been sitting here trying to think of ever ratoinal possibe situation and that is why I came here to ATS after all when you don't understand something you should ask of others opinoins and thoughts. A few of the post gave me comfert thinking awww its just an electrical issue , but soon after something different was brought to me through your posts with unbelievable (here it is up front ) you are not the only one to see such things kinda of repore. I probably would have had a heart attack if this thing what ever it was or is would have moved or even stayed a bit longer. I do realy appeaciate all of your posts no matter your opinoin I can roll either way really, If this was just a nautral thing or electrical issue I geuss I was just afraid of nothing, but however if this is what it might be, that means this still exists some where out there! This my freind is alittle worrie some to me, well for me anyways. I like to hear about other peoples strange stories, I don't like to part of the story.

I was talking with my brother about this. He said the gasstation which is about 2 1/2 to 3 blocks from were I was at when I saw it, has a 24 hr servalance camera. He thought that the camaras might have picked up the light change. But how does one begin to ask, can I see the footage I saw something quite strange on 5/4/08 . that would be realy cool if they would look back at it. and our city also has sky cams I wonder if any of them recorded anything I saw. How do I find out? Any suggestions?

The surveilance cameras, no doubt, monitor the pumps and parking areas. They also probably record in black and white. But if they are in color, and you want to see if a two-second color change in the sky shows up on the tape, you'll probably need to pin down the time better than "12:30ish".

Even then, you'll have to be very careful about how you describe what you saw and why you would like them to allow you to review the tapes (if they still exist and haven't been erased because nothing interesting happened).

and our city also has sky cams I wonder if any of them recorded anything I saw. How do I find out? Any suggestions?

"Sky cams", eh? What are these? I know of highway cams and such. If there are cameras monitoring the skies then they may have picked up something.

Find out what department runs the program (Public Works? Check your local blue pages), and maybe ask about video evidence of a green light that accompanied the recent power outage, and if they have any explanation for it.

Chances are (maybe slim, though) that there's an explanation that we haven't thought of, but that is simple and routine for utilitities professionals. I dunno.

Thanks great idea. Well let me tell you what our sky cams are they camaras in differnt locations that have a birds eye veiw over differnt parts of the city they use them for the local news all the time to show us the wheather and what not. but I'm not sure how to accses them yet I will check it out. I hope they have some thing.

Just a stab in the dark but if you looked at one of those high power green laser pointers head on would it perhaps resemble what you saw?

Like in this picture but obviously if head on you would just see the round part at the end?

well if it was lazer pointer it woul have been the largest to all man kind! It was so big that it was atleast the buildings width in size so I doubt that theroy just from the size it would be impossible. I geuss other people have wittnessed such things as well.. I hope I do figure this out. I just wish I had a photo of that exact moment. I figured I can not be the only one to this it was so large how could any one miss it. so I am hopping to run into some one else who saw it the same night.

The only reason I ask is that some of the high power ones have a 50 mile range so I'm guessing the beam might be quite a lot wider 50 miles away than it is when it exits the actual device.

I don't think what I saw was a laser pointer, there were no cars around. Where this was, is a very dark place at night. In other words, lots of trees, and dark, dark skies. Although, at one point, it did resemble the laser pointer. I'll give you that.

I dont know but I geuss, It was so big I couldnt tell what building it was behind I only could see half so hard to perdict exactly how big. It was buggenough to scare me. I saw things in the sky before lights moving but so far off that one could just write it off in many differnt ways but when some thing like this happens up close and personal it is harder to come up with an excuse for the situation. i have been tring to find some way to figure this out but it is harder then I thought hope fully soon some inlightment will come. Part of me says ya come back I will be ready with camara this time but the other half says no thanks once was enough. (lol)

well I called Jim Clark he never answers just a message system, I was woundering who was this jim clark he is just the city cordinator activities and stuff. I also tryed to find out if any one else had saw what I saw? no luck yet. I also called the power comp. and asked if there was any transformers blown out on that day they said they had no report? the only thing you can get is from the local news saying it was a fuse blown, I guess it was about 3000 people out of electricity that night. I still need to get a photo of the area that it took place. to post it.

Is there any way you could describe the direction of the vacinity and the area buildings you are comparing them too?
Maybe you should see that your account's , no matter how disappointing it was not to get the picture of what you had seen, are very true scenarios for this area, there have been quite a few reports since the begining of 08 already, maybe you would be able to use this information to get a hold of someone that has since reported seeing the same thing?

Hope this helps you to come to the realized conclusion that you were a witness to something.
Just wish there would of been a sighting report for that particular date and time frame

Keep searching for the truth dasioux777, the truth is out there and remember ATSer's motto, "Deny Ignorance!!!"

And welcome aboard fellow ATSer!!!!

Well I was heading North but at this time I was stopped at a stop light looking Northeast towards the building when the Light appeared. The building is quite Large not sure on the Footage but there is a gymnasim on the south side of the building. I would guess the building takes up 1/4 or a little more of the block.There are some trees on the west side of the building which the object started at the tree line and seemed to ened at the east side of building maybe just a bit farther. Like I said it was about two seconds long I was quite taken back by it all I wish I would have had someone with me it would make this alittle easyer to take as that might have notice some thing more. I need to get a photo of this place and i will try to draw in the photo the where abouts of the object. I tryed to draw it but it just diddnt seem right so that is why I did not post a drawing yet.

Sounds really good!!
There is a very specific need for the information to be able too decide our decisision to exactly what happened.
There are alot of report's of "Green Objects" that were massive, but we have yet to see a true photo/evidence to this actually taking place. I do , however, believe you are telling the truth, it is just a matter of getting to the answers you are looking for....?"

I will keep in touch, seems like you need to find the truth as well???

This is what I was going to respond to this sighting as. It makes more sense than some crazy ultra secret military technology. Even seeing the flash from a distance over a hill or treeline would be disturbing.


However when a transformer blows it is a very audible loud explosion.

Hi one and all...i googled paranormal activity i have witnessed and it braught me to this feed....i was hoping one of you may have some explanation....what i witnessed is slightly different in that i saw the entire night sky turn instantly bright neon green and it held this colour for about 2 seconds...i was running down my road in stratford upon avon england in 1997 when it occured...pardon my french but i pretty much shat myself, one second i was running the next i was stood still breathless looking at the sky expecting a nuclear explosion but after a second i kinda thought...but its green!? and then a second later back to black, the whole sky just turned green then off again like someone had flicked a switch...it was so damn eery, i was scared and ran the remaining 50 or 60 metres home but no-one there had seen this. the light was not concentrated in a particular area, there were no hotspots, literally the ENTIRE sky! It was a slightly overcast evening it must have been around march or april as i was coming back from rugby training and i know it was nearer the summer than winter and the season finishes end may early june. There were no storms, rain or anything like that...the light kind of excentuated the edges of the clouds, it was weird. I hadnt met anyone who'd seen it too til about 2 years later when a friend of a friend told of the same experience one night...we worked out it must have been the same time from his recollection, im pretty sure he saw it at the same time, he lived up on a hill and saw it as he was gazing out of the window whilst ironing...neither of us know of anyone else who saw this...to hazard a guess i'd say it was at about 9.30 -10pm on a tuesday or thurs night some time in april 97...wish i'd made an accurate account but at the age of 17 i had other more trivial matters on my mind and i learnt to just shrug my shoulders over the occurence as it appeared to have no effect on anything....although ive always wandered what it could be and i really cant begin to imagine what could cause the dark night sky to turn neon green for 2 seconds! any ideas folks?

Not all transformer blasts are audible if they occur a long distance away, and the flashes can be seen for many miles on a very clear night. I would say this is still the most likely possibility in this case.

I've uploaded a vid of a transformer blast here. There are no massive bangs. From a few miles away there's no way you'd hear anything!
