Its still there, but not as bright... the clouds were literally light blue as if it were day time... but everywhere else it was black as night. And no, it wasn't the moon. I took a picture of it with my camera phone... sorry for the quality.

And no, it wasn't dusk or anything... it was fully dark outside... only that part of the sky was lit up however. It was through the clouds. At first I thought it was Auroura borealis (spelling?), but it wasn't... since the clouds were illuminated.

Could they have been doing those extreamly high altitude missle tests again like they did a cuople years ago? Remember those? My girlfriend and I watched it. You could see it trail thourgh the sky and then it exploded like a HUGE firework with green and blue light and smoke that lingered for waht seemed like hours. It was close enough to 9/11 that I damn near **** my pants freaking out about what it may have been.

No... I've seen that happen, and it wasn't the same kind of glow. It just looked the that particular cloud area was glow in the dark... but light blue. My friend and I were trippin out... I've never seen anything like that in my life. It's not like I'm a n00b to the sky either.

I saw it too Dan. I was in the Burlingame area and it was very bright. Someone better call Will Smith so he can "get jiggy" with whatever the **** is going on.

Sweet! Someone else saw it... my friend and I stopped the car and got out... re: picture I took. Maybe I'm overreacting. I wish it was on the news.
