But I don't think that was Aussie Bloke stating the war of the worlds bit. at but some other cut and paster, who mentioned all the navies out to sea bit as well... Not sure but that's the way I read it. I think AB would call him out as a ptb...
Did you happen to save the links to any of the threads about that one?
Look at post #3 on this thread.
Yup. I remember those kinds of flashes and booms from back in '66.
1908 Tunguska Explosion (Reconstructing An Asteroid Impact From Eyewitness Accounts)
Residents of London reported being able to read the newspaper outside at midnight (for 4 days) it was so bright.
Scientists are puzzled by the native reports that they heard the asteroid/meteorite before they saw it.
oh no....
The flash would have lasted a few minutes, so something else would have been the cause of the extended duration bright sky. Perhaps light from a huge forest fire reflecting off atmospheric dust.
Good find, the time is on target with event.
Any real-time webcam images from tv/DOT highway / weather-news station ?
Same happened to me in 1962, right smack in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis (the day after Kennedy gave the ultimatum, I think). Most folks thought WWIII was about to begin at any minute.
I was sitting in the middle of a high school class when one of the local ANG F-102's punched the after burners right over the city. (They were allowed to do that then and the Air Force just paid for any broken windows.) Kids were diving under their desks and some of the girls started crying.
It's funny thinking back on it now. I'd heard sonic booms many times before that, but that one really was memorable. ;~))
"There is another possible explanation to the Tunguska explosion. It is possible that this object was a ball-of-light made perhaps by the sun, or less likely by another star, or even less likely -- but possible -- by man!"
What I want to know is, how can something as small as a computer monitor light up the sky over such a large area?
"Western Washington" is like saying "Upstate New York" or "Southern California." We're just not as well known. Perhaps FR will help correct that through such threads as this. I've not heard of DC having a western side, eastern, northern, etc.
I note you are from Connecticut and can understand your concern. It's a big country.
Any local reports of strange people requesting sugar water and wearing an "edgar suite?"
Why does the movie "The Core" come to mind? Or maybe the Poles are shifting and that's why Tenet resigned. He is abondoning ship to live the rest of his days with his family (a.k.a. Deep Impact). Where is Art Bell when you need him...? And why hasn't Ed Dames told us about this...?

About seven-eight years ago there were reports of people in the Seattle area waking up in the middle of the night and finding people (?) dressed as clowns in their bedrooms. I almost called Art Bell about those reports.
