Hanukkah mystery: Eerie blue images caught on camera at menorah lighting WASHINGTON – Was it a bird? Was it a plane? Was it a sign from heaven?
That's what Carrie Devorah wants to know after she inadvertently photographed some mysterious blue light images hovering heavenward while taking pictures of the lighting of the Chabad menorah on the first night of Hanukkah last night on the Ellipse in the nation's capital.
Mysterious blue images captured during menorah lighting in Washington, D.C.
"I took this shot as I was walking to get into place," she said. "For those of you who know D.C., you will recognize the two red lights to the left as being from the Washington Monument. And you will know there is no building that tall to the right of the menorah where the two blue images are."
Are they lens refractions? Are they planes from National Airport? Devorah isn't sure.
It's an internal reflection from the camera's optical system.
"Are they lens refractions? Are they planes from National Airport?"
Lens refractions? Probably. Why not post the photo itself?
I did post#2
Sorry. I see that you did post the photo. Yes, those are internal reflections from the camera. No miracles here, except, perhaps, the miracle of modern technology.
I was fascinated by the stage light silhouetting the menorah," the photographer explained. "So I walked as close as I could – shot with my wide angle lens. ... I noticed the blue images when I returned home."
Devorah says she took three photographs in sequence and the blue images – the mystery lights – are ascending in the sequence.
Devorah was in the news last spring when her brother Chezi was killed in a terrorist bus bombing in Israel.
She wrote about her experience and her loss in a WorldNetDaily commentary.
Still feeling the loss, Devorah takes comfort from the mysterious lights.
"Messiah? A sign? Blue angels?" she asks rhetorically. "All I know is it was fortuitous on a day I was needing to see ... one set of footsteps in the sand, a sign I am being carried."
"Sorry forgot to post the rest of the article" :)
I do now know who killed JFK however
Superintendent: "SKINNER, WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR KITCHEN?!"
Skinner: "Auroraborealis..."
Superintendent: "Auroraborealis?! In this part of the country, at this time of the day, localized entirely within your kitchen?!"
Skinner: ".....yes."
superintendent: "oh. May I see?"
No matter what our scientific rational uses to explain these mysterious lights, this poor woman has suffered horrible loss needed something, anything, and the Lord provided it to her.
The ACLU must be very saddened. I'm sure they are preparing the legal docs to be served to these angels.

Perhaps so. I hardly find that newsworthy, though. Worldnet Daily seems to publish stuff without there being any backup for it.
I'm glad the nice lady got some affirmation from her photo. I fail to see its relevance to anyone else, however. Reflections inside a lens hardly seem worth mentioning.
I have it on good authority that there are no angels in the nation's capitol. With blindingly few exceptions, the better angels of our nature are all in the Red states.
future E-Bay auction?
With all the negative that is reported (and not reported by the MSM)I like hearing about people who have been uplifted. It isn't like there is not room on the web for stories like these. You don't want your time wasted? Fine, read the first few lines and move on.
Gotta ask, why would christian angels (blue crosses) be at a menorah lighting ?
Gene Simmons is likely hawking some new trinkets.
Maybe because Jesus Christ was a Jew???
