UPDATE: Explanation to letter below, from Lori LeVeque, of the Monrovia Police Department: "[W]e have reports of a transformer blowing that evening right about that time in the area of 5th and Huntington."
I just received this email from a reader. Did anybody else see this? Let me know. brad@bradhaugaard.com
"I arrived to my home in Monrovia around 1230am [last night, I assume], stepped out of my car, and while walking to the door there was an extremely bright light which lit up the entire sky and my street. I stood with my mouth open, because wtf, and then within a few seconds it happened again. Bright enough to light the street (reflection from cloud cover, but jeez). A blueish tinted white light. It originated pretty far west of my location (Mountain/Foothill).
"I listened for some kind of sound that would indicate an explosion/firework but did not hear anything.
"Is this something that you can find out about?
"I'm a nurse, I'm not too crazy. No gods, ghosts, or aliens. Just curious. Please let me know if you hear anything! Thank you."
COMMENT: I have an email in to the police department, but in the meantime I have a guess but I'd love to know if anybody else saw it. I would say it was distant lightning since the possibility of thunderstorms was predicted, and perhaps it was regular lightning, though the silence doesn't seem to match that.
Here is a weird extra guess: When I was hiking in the mountains many years ago I saw ball lightning ( http://goo.gl/eb6Ox ). It was a ball of lightning that just drifted down from the clouds and then silently fizzled out, though I guess some explode.
I saw a row of light in the sky moving up and down at around 7 pm. I was coming out of the ralphs parking lot hitting foothill when I saw it. The lights were blue and white. I know it sounds crazy but it looked like a helicopter...but it couldnt have been...it moved really fast. If anybody knows what this could be let me know please.
ReplyDeleteI saw the same thing last night as well. I really thought I was just tripping out but I watched for a couple of minutes until it fading into the night sky. I have no clue what it was but I'm just glad someone else witnessed it as well!
