[Vision2020] Huge Flash of Blue Light

[Bev Bafus]

We saw the same thing last night... we were driving south on Hwy 95, just
north of Potlatch.

It looked like it was coming from between Moscow and Potlatch.

There were two flashes, the first blue, and the second bright
greenish-yellow.

My husband thought it was a transformer, also......

  Greetings:

  It could also have been debris from the break up of a Russian booster
rocket that just put a satellite in orbit.

    Andreas,

    A possibility is that it was a piece of a NORAD satellite that was
scheduled to break up and enter the atmosphere this evening. It was suppose
to be visible to those in Idaho. A tiny piece can make a pretty big flash
burning up in the atmosphere.

    Best,

      Okay, so, um, I think I'm going crazy, but did anyone else see an
      enormous, repeating flash of blue-green light east of Moscow (like,
      down A Street toward Pullman) around 7:00 PM tonight? I saw it, and
      I'm kind of confused as to what it was. Maybe a transformer blowing
      up?

  "Truth is the summit of being; justice is the application of it to human
affairs."
  --Ralph Waldo Emerson

  "Abstract truth has no value unless it incarnates in human beings who
represent it, by proving their readiness to die for it."
   --Mohandas Gandhi

  "Modern physics has taught us that the nature of any system cannot be
discovered by dividing it into its component parts and studying each part by
itself. . . .We must keep our attention fixed on the whole and on the
interconnection between the parts. The same is true of our intellectual
life. It is impossible to make a clear cut between science, religion, and
art. The whole is never equal simply to the sum of its various parts." --Max
