The blue light
 

As most of you probably don't know, the area that work in, Houston Ship Channel near Pasadena/Deer Park area, was specifically called out in a terroristic threat due to the importance and abundance of the oil and gas industry in this area. Well, the other night, I was driving down the freeway, facing that general area, and all of a sudden the sky lit up with two flashes. They were extremely bright with a blue tint/haze, almost like the color of most "superwhite" headlights. They started from the ground up and were dome shaped, one on top of the other. I thought for a minute that was going crazy and then my g/f asked if I had seen it. My heart dropped to my feet. I thought the lower half of Texas was about to become the newest edition to the gulf of mexico. I called my job and they heard nothing. I called friend of mine in Clear Lake and he heard nothing. I watched the news and listened to the radio the next day and nothing. WTF??? If anyone has any insight as to what this could have been, please fill me in. I thought a possible electircal explosion, but that would have been all over the news. Some people suggested possibly a transformer, but if that was a transformer, it would have had to have been the size of a football field to put off the intensity of light I saw and it would have been on the news. I am at my minds end on this one. Anyone???

quit sniffing paint cans.... :D

coulda easily beena transformer actually...aside from the blue...i was a good 700 ft from one last weekend and through the 4 or 5 yards and thick brush that thing still managed to shine up the living room window to my left like lightning had hit 2 feet away...they explode nicely ;)

or its a UFO...and they anal probed you....beware...:eek:

Yeh I don't think anyone would admit to that one. :D :D :D

I was thinking maybe you have an exhaust leak and your exhaust is leaking into the car. :confused: lol I'm not sure, but aslong as the rest of the state is alive and everything is there I guess nothing is wrong, but I would imagin that being pretty freaky ****.

§am.

i actually had an exhaust leak through the rear seats when i first started drivin the 90GT back at the beginning of the summer before my senior year...they got it fixed when i was allowed to do highway driving because if i would have to have the windows up....but you smelled it everywhere, not just in the car :D ...i dnt remember ever getting any hallucinations from it though...lol...felt like a redneck with all that carbonmonoxide puffing out like i had no exhaust...i saw the pipes after they came off at the shop - full of holes n rust...gotta love snow...at least it doesnt worry about snow anymore...:)

That is understandable, but I'm talking anywhere from 5-25 miles away. Because of all the industry, I couldn't tell exactly how far, but it was at leas 5 miles.
