Did I just see "earthquake lights"??? (Atlanta)

reply to post by ApolloBloodline


I had my big kid camera with me but driving and tryna shoot with a nikon is an epic fail.

According to my friend in china, Frogs are also a good indicator of forthcoming quakes.

Have you looked at the links provided to see if it looks like what you saw??just wondering

Nothing like that to me but it was night time. does it do that during the night?

Any more insight into this?

watching earthquake chart just in case.

If your gut feeling tells you something was out of the ordinary about the lights then you are prolly right....before the earthquake that hit west virgina months ago i noticed that the sky was all sorts of wierd colors 2 days prior to the earthquake....i was driving home from work and i kept telling my friend there gonna be a earthquake man..those colors are way out of the ordinary then 2 days later we had the earthquake..if youll remember it was the one felt up n down the east coast..it was back in august...we willl know in a day or two if what you saw is indeed a precursor.

It would be cool as hell if there is an earthquake, but I do hope not. Have earthquake lights been confirmed as an occurrence or are they "reports"?

Don't think i've ever seen those sort of illuminations here in Ohio...

it is odd... guess we will see...

The videos sky is still too early in the day. It was too dark to really tell. All I knew is that it was eerily bright and had a strange almost greenish tinge to it.

considering the time and the storm..I think you probably saw the storm..11pm is a bit to dark to see eq lights...so chances are you saw lightning from the storm....

Still doesn't make sense for my location and the fact that I saw similar illumination 0_o

it looked far too odd.

I got off work at around 11:15pm and was leaving the downtown Atlanta area headed north on the downtown corridor. Around the fork, where I branched off onto 85N I looked due north and saw a BRIGHT area in the sky, I mean intensely bright, for miles across the horizon. It kinda looked like lighting behind a cloud that had been paused, mid flash. It even kinda resembles the aurora borealis. Unfortunately, I couldn't snap a photo, but I wanna know if anybody might have an idea of what that was. It looked like the various photos of "earthquake lights". And I stared long enough to see that it was most likely not sourced on the ground.

There's a lot of speculative claims about 'earthquake lights'....and while there are certainly some legitimate study involving balls of light comming out of earthquake zones due to the crushing of certain minerals, these look more like ball lightening...and don't stick around.

What you saw was much more likely another rather new (for latitudes farther from the poles anyway) and somewhat mysterious phenomenon known as Self-Luminous Clouds.....also known as Noctilucent Clouds. They are thought to be a sign of Climate Change, as theyve become far more common in the lower latitudes than ever before....Here's a link.

No, the clouds had already moved out. We had about an hour an a half of very strong wind. The storm was long gone. Look at the radar still that was posted on page 1. I live downtown in Atlanta, haven't seen the storm for some hours..

YES THAT'S IT!!!!!

It was PITCH black other than that band in the sky. Far past twilight and such. Sun was LONG gone and didn't notice a moon.

Well, earthquake lights happen minutes before or after an earthquake sometimes even while the earthquake is in process. might be what you saw was the aurora borealis. They range in a variety of colors here is a picture of a purple one. I live in Alaska and we get them all the time, it happens when the earth gets hits with solar activity. I'm guess we have been getting a lot of solar activity lately.






oh.... yay!! lol..
