EMP incident accompanied a high-altitude nuclear test over the South Pacific and resulted in power system failures as far away as Hawaii. A large device detonated at 400�500 km over Kansas would affect all of CONUS. The signal from such an event extends to the visual horizon as seen from the burst point. any power failure in your area ? not here at the house.. that was the first thing that i thought it was.. but the house lights are still on.. and the guy walking past said his power was out..if it was a HANE my lights s/b out wouldn't they be ??

She may not have seen the CME, which takes time to reach Earth, but she may have been in a position to the the flash which would travel at light speed. I don't know her location but the flare occured around 11am EDT. It would nice to see an aurora off of this CME this weekend, though I am very far south. (NO, not in DIXIE)

So jealous of all you hearing/seeing things in the sky lately. It's been about 10 years since I've seen anything strange in the sky..and when I did, thousands of others apparently witnessed it too..even made the news/radio here in Connecticut. Well whatever it was, keep us updated! You mentioned there was EMT/Fire rolled to whatever happened? Do you have a scanner? You need one!

Unless there are lots of them happening around the world and is becoming a bit of a net buzz, then I agree it could be anything. I really only came to this thread last night because I was reading about the "strange sound" phenomenon that is picking up momentum around the world and ATS. I was in a paranormal mood.

I live in Coventry, England and on 15th/16th January (not quite sure, I didnt really think it was of any importance until i saw this thread) I was finding it hard to get to sleep - as always recently. Just as i was dropping off, a huge light lit up the sky just as you described here, and this came through thick, dark brown window blinds. My brother, in a bed on the opposite side of the room, was also awoken by this but didnt mention anything, i just noticed as he stopped snoring and sat up. Anyone else in England notice anything like this around the 15/16th January?

I personally witnessed an event just like this about 6 months ago here in Virginia Beach. After some thought the only thing that made sense was a blown transformer, but it was so huge and it happened a few times. There were also no power outages at all anywhere.
