Hey guys, Im so sorry to have cut off my responses's. But seriously, I won the lottery. I will start a thread and tell you all about it once I figure out what it's all about.

In the mean time. I still stand by my conviction. This thread is a Hoax.

**update**..

After practicing for worship service today for this coming Sunday, at a friends house, we were shooting the breeze afterwards, he asked me if anything was new since we haven't practiced together in a while because of the snow we had this week.

I told him about the lights I saw and he looked at me while jerking back his head a bit in shock and about to tell him the time on Wednesday morning .. what shocked me as he interrupted me and asked .. "wait...at around 5am ? cuz' at 5am, I got up to go the bathroom and looked out the window and the sky lit up green and I thought I was just seeing things." I said "yes.. at 5am."

we just looked at each other for a second in silence and he asked me what I thought it was and told him I really had no idea what it was but that there were no lights out around my block and all the street lights were on...

he lives 2.5miles from my house.

Thx you SO much for posting this !!! Star for sure!

I'm in NY and I wanted to report a similar incident that occurred last night at around 5:45-6:00 pm. I was just sitting around playing Skyrim of all things, when I saw a bright, bright, BRIGHT greenish flash that lit up my entire room. No it was not the game. I had my shades all the way up and my room is on the upper floor, my chair is right next to the window.

Basically I was sitting there playing with the lights off and I turned my head towards my dog because I thought he had gotten into something. In my mirror, which is directly across from the window, I saw the flash high in the sky. My initial reaction was that it was lightening, but then I remembered that lightening isn't green, and kind of rare this time of year. (?)

I do admit it was raining and foggy last night though. Lightening also wouldn't last long enough for me to turn my head towards the window and be totally blinded by this light. It literally made me squint and turn my face. I even thought fireworks for a second as I braced myself for some kind of explosion to happen that never occurred....the light was accompanied by no sound at all.

Who lights off fireworks in the rain anyway? Thinking back I thought there may have been some kind of hissing sound right before or during, but I'm inclined to believe that part may just be my imagination...or the game. lol The duration of the incident was about 3-6 seconds, I'm not sure if it was one flash or a couple. I got up and looked out the window after expecting fire, smoke or outages. There were lights on everywhere close that I could see and no fires. I did hear a very loud buzzing that lasted for about the same amount of time as the light show.

Far off where I'm used to seeing lights in the hills I thought it was completely dark. I immediately thought back to this thread and ran around my house telling everyone a transformer blew and it was all dark in the neighboring town. My brother also reported that the bathroom lights flickered and he also heard the buzzing, but did not see the light. My fiance actually called the local precinct to see if they had any calls, should have called the FD, but we didn't think of it at the time. They said that they did not but their lights also flickered.

So naturally everyone gets in the car and we go out searching because I am convinced a transformer blew somewhere. By this time there are sirens going off and it sounded like they stopped close to my house. The area that I thought was dark was brightly lit, visibility was low from my window apparently because of the fog. There are lights on everywhere and now I'm feeling like an ass. Never found out where the firetrucks/police/whatever went because we had to drop off my brother to a friend who live in a different direction, by the time we were done doing that it was time for us to go meet some friends as well.

I heard fire engines the whole way going back to our friends who are in the same neighborhood as me, sounding like they were going in many different directions. We pull into my friends driveway and firetrucks seem to be coming that way.... FD literally a minute walk from a her house. On the next block over there seems so be something going on at one of the houses. No fire that we can see though. FD was there for about half an hour before they pulled away. My friend did not see/hear anything. I don't know if these incidents are connected, but that area would have been in the general direction of the flash I saw.
