I've seen it three times.

Twice from a beach near my younger daughter's place near Lahaina, Maui.

Once on Hwy 152 about 20 miles west of Los Banos, CA, southeast of San
Jose.

All three times under clear, non-cloudy skies, with very little haze.


I know it has to do with the bending of the rays and such, and it's
brief at best but will a video pick it up? I videoed the whole thing
and didn't see it. One would think, from the comforts of cruise
altitude it would be a common event?
