Did anyone see that flash of bright blue light in the sky?

Question

At about 9:48pm or so today (7-24-07) my sister, her friends, my parents and I saw this bright flash in the sky. It lit up half of the sky. At about the same time, my brother told me that the lights had gone off in his room. Weird huh? I came across this article from 7-24-01 where these things happened too, the flash in the sky and electricity going out, it ended being that a meteor exploded in the air, but no one knows if this was something relevant to that....if you saw or know anything post it. let me know.

This was in the Los Angeles Area, and no it was not lightning.

Answer 1

I did not see anything - but I will keep looking

Answer 2

Thats odd. The same year in MD, on October 31 at appx. 7 pm, I saw a blue beam, only can be described as a particle beam, come out of the sky and hit the ground about a mile away. This had a diameter of about 30 feet, but it was blue like lightning and lit up everything so bright, it was almost white. I call it a particle beam because it didnt turn off, but dissolved and the light was emitted from the air/armosphere itself. When you get blinded by a bright light and your vision shows a shadow of what blinded you, but slowly dissolves- that's how the light dissipated. And I know that wasnt a product of my vision producing that. This was absolutely spectacular and terrifying, and the amount of energy this would have needed to produce this is staggering. I went to report to MUFON, and when I was creating a map with markings to show the location of the phenomenon, and my position, I saw a property that said 'laser research'.

Answer 3

My Sister and I saw that happen in about 1999 just above the Santa Susana Pass where there is a rocket testing facility; we thought it had something to do with that. When I mentioned it to my mechanic the next day he also saw it and was glad he wasn't the only one. One half of the entire sky lit up. We were in the car so I have no idea if electricity was interrupted. 'Still wonder what it was.

Answer 4

I saw the sky light up a blue color two times very briefly for about one second. I thought it might have been a distant transformer blowing or perhaps even a meteor that had exploded. It was brief, and there was no sound.

Answer 5

Whether it's a meteor or something else, these sorts of things are almost always fairly local phenomena, so it would help if you mention where you saw this. A bright flash followed by a power failure is often a transformer blowing up.

Answer 6

Not bein' funny or nothing - but was it lightning?

Answer 7
