This is one of the stranger stories I have come across.

Here's a thread that was just started about it.

I guess search didn't work because they spelled Particle incorrectly.

Wow yeah that is a pretty amazing story. So the particle beam went right thru dudes head. I wonder if the bright light he saw was optical or retinal trauma??? There was some paragraph near the end of the article that described Apollo astronauts getting a similar effect from solar radiation.

Yes, on the show about a trip to Mars a big concern is stopping the cosmic radiation that hits the astronauts. They have reported seeing flashes when they have been hit.

I dont know if this is a cause and effect thing from reading too many ATS threads, but today I witnessed a spark fly from left to right thru my lower jaw and a proceed thru the windows in a straight line to a distance of about 10meters. Perhaps this is a results of an overactive imagination, but it sure seemed real. I dont know what this was, but the cosmic radiation popped into my mind after it happened. Does cosmic radiation occur with our atmosphere?

Yes cosmic radiation can happen inside the atmosphere but not nearly in the quantities present past the van allen belt... add to that things being only unlikely not impossible statistically and you very well could have got zinged.

That is pretty interesting. Honestly, almost an eerie thought.

Hard to believe that he felt nothing at first though; it makes sense though, I suppose.
