Bright Red / Blue / Green / Etc... sky flashes
I'm south subs of Chicago, and was just driving home, all of a sudden the entire sky lit up with multiple multi colored brighter then I have ever seen before flashes.

We're in the middle of a storm right now, cloudy as hell, and it lit the clouds up bright as hell. No thunder, and it was way crazier then lightning. Serious it was multi colored and lit the entire sky up.

I saw 3 flashes light up the sky around me, but couldn't see directly as I was driving, I freaked out, pulled over and looked up, I saw 1 more directly, and I don't know wtf it was.

Anyone else see this? Freaky as hell, i'm a bit scared.

Did it look something like this?



This is what a high power transformer explosion looks like in the evening.

I thought it was lightning at first until I looked outside. Power just flickered too.

I have seen green and blue from transformer explosions (and one time a whole substation) but never red. Interesting. I wonder if distance might have anything to do with that...

It's quite possible that was it, I must have been close to it then. I didn't hear any noises at all though.

Well at least there is a possible scientific explanation, I almost pooped my pants thinking an alien invasion was about to take place.

I was driving at night and not far from a transformer that blew up and caused a partial blackout in my city.

It looked like someone had set off purple and white fireworks. I thought it was kids playing a prank ... till I saw how many blocks were suddenly dark.

Well all is calm here currently outside of the howling storm winds.

I have power obviously, but the source of the lights seemed to be away from my home.

It probably was a transformer and someone doesn't have power. Those poor people are probably freaking out, I know I would right now if I didn't have power.

Anyways, I'll keep checking and if I see anything else will post!

I have been seeing it too. We were getting hit with a terrible storm and when the wind picked up the colors seemed to "pulse" from the clouds.

The recess isn't pinned because it's the same bullshit we hear when it's budget time everytime for the last few years now. I'm tired of hearing it. Absolutely nothing will change until EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE ASSHOLES ARE OUT OF OFFICE and tptb have no more minons.

I live in Wauwatosa and my condo window is on the third floor and I'd say about twenty mins ago I saw to really bright flashes in the sky. The entire sky lit up. It totally freaked me out. I really want to know what the cause is.
