| #7 And no mention of the weird looking guys at the base of the light columns, one of which yelled "Kamehameha" just before a big explosion. /You'll either get it or you won't |

| #6 "The lights were said to be a reflection caused by the light from streetlamps on the ground hitting ice crystals suspended in the cold air" My first thought when looking at the first picture in the article. The 2 most prominent "lights" in the sky were directly over 2 streetlights - in the exact same colors as the "sky lights" above them. My B.S. says I'm a scientist, but I'm not baffled. Guess I'm not really a scientist. :-( |

| #4 Viewing the pic seems to show that the beams may begin from the light sources on the ground and thence project upward. Ima thinkin' that this may be a function of characteristics of the bulbs being used in conjunction with misting conditions. Or Global Warming...... |
