| Light flash turning early morning darkness into daylight On 21 Jan 04, at about 0635, while traveling east on Autobahn A 63 (from Kaiserslautern to Mainz), a large light flash occurred. It started as a low intensity flash and suddenly became brighter. It lit up the early morning darkness like daylight. The high intensity light appeared bluish, similar to that of light emitted from a halogen car headlight or lamp. The light was witnessed by persons from Kaiserslautern to Wiesbaden to Koln (Cologne), Germany. The total incident lasted no more than two seconds. A friend related German media had reported the light was caused by a meteor reentering the earth's atmosphere however, I don't know if that's been verified at this time. ((NUFORC Note: Many other reports in the press of this event shortly after it had occurred. PD)) |
