I have. Not from the air, neither from a boat, but from shore. Just once (or *maybe* twice in 40 years). It is real enough. -- Seppo P. What's wrong with Theocracy? (a Finnish Taliban, Oct 1, 2005) |

One of the Tigers on my last cruise got a good photo of it. We saw the flash three days running on that trip. Jeff |

I've seen it in tropical latitudes, only, and never from our beaches here in
Washington State. Now to be honest, it's a bit chilly to hang around one of our beaches, and if you did, there is no guarantee of a proper sunset, so... maybe it's there.

Daniel Gallery's books where he mentioned the phenomenon and talked about somebody prolonging it by flying towards the sunset at exactly the correct speed. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |
