I have owned boats but not now. I live a few miles from the Mid Atlantic Coast & just a half mile from a large bay. I have never noticed the green. Still, I wouldn't call it a flash but rather a green rim or ring. Stil nice to finally see it. Maybe I'll record next time.
I saw a green flash in 2003. Our first night in Waialua Bay, my husband and I walked to the water’s edge to watch the sunset. There were two or three whales about 150 yards out, slapping the water with their tales. The weather was absolutely perfect. And then when the sun set, the green flash. It was the single most magical moment of my life.
Saw my first and so far in my nearly 61 years,only green flash just this past February. We were at Rick's Cafe in Negril Jamaica watching g the sun set over the water. Beautiful.
Imagine how confusing this must be for flat Earth fans...(apparently the sun just circles above us, yet nighttime reaches some countries despite still being in line of sight with the sun !!)
We sit out on our lanai every evening with a glass of scotch and grade the greenflashes. 2 nights ago was one of the most vivid we've ever seen as a clear horizon surface beneath low horizon clouds magnified the intensity. And the sunbeams shooting skyward were a real framing treat. Oh ya ... this was absolutely beautiful!
Nice! I saw it in about 1980 while driving on the 5 freeway in Oceanside CA! I was looking at the sun sinking and looked at just the right moment! It was very bright.
I remember reading that too. Wish I could find that article. The only thing is I thought it happened at sunrise instead of sunset. No wonder I haven’t been able to see it!
@@jameswolff2152 Correct. It was daybreak on the US East Coast. I want to say it was in Maine; Possibly Cadillac Mountain in Acadia NP. It's funny how Google can't find that story. IIRC it was in a Reader's Digest hardcover compilation book.
@@jameswolff2152: Huh! Now I have to find an area with no trees to watch the sunset. Maybe I can ask my dad to go to those areas to see if he can capture this kind of moment 😍🤩 I just wish I didn't have this painful and deadly disease so I could go out more often without having to worry about going to the hospital. What's worse is that I'm in the middle of transferring to adult care and I don't have my ID yet, so Idk what will happen if I end up needing to go in again without it ;-; I also don't understand why every time I think about getting my ID, the universe or something stops me like it's saying I don't need it when I clearly need it. If it does not help me to get rid of this disease, then I will very well do whatever I can to stop whoever or whatever is stopping me from doing the things I feel I need to do asap... If I can...
I saw it once as a boy at sunrise. What must have been quite a wave got in the way of the sun as it started to rise. It was quite an emerald flash. Very vivid.
I remember seeing the green flash at Mission Beach in San Diego in the 1980s.I remember the green flash went across the entire horizon for a split second. This video is nothing to write home about
I saw it from Sarasota Florida's Crescent Beach several times when I lived there in the 1980s and early 1990s.. My Aunt who lived on Longboat Key told me about it.
I saw a pink flash at dusk a few years ago while driving. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. Then i started getting into noble gasses and neon gasses and upper atmospheric anomalies. But I think this Northern Light stuff happening, is at the end of the movie projector in edit, where the film was spliced as we are in overtime lol !
Yellow and blue make green. The sky is still blue at the very edge of the horizon (we can't see it) and the sun, though a white star appears yellow to us, because of the atmosphere.
That's interesting. Back in the mid 2000's the sun appeared white for a couple of years. Assumed it was the sun acting weird. Must have been something in the atmosphere.
Huh, that's not the green flash I saw. Remember it like it was yesterday, back seat of my parents car on the California coast. This would have been around 1975. After the Sun finally flattened out entirely, it appeared again, under the edge of the water, entirely green and it gradually sank out of sight from there, everybody saw it. Recently I lived on beach for two years and never saw anything like it.
The green flash is said to be rare, but if you have a clear, distant water horizon and can observe from a somewhat elevated position it is possible to see dozens a year. I have. More challenging is the sunrise green flash, because you have to be staring at the exact spot just as the limb of the sun appears. The phenomenon is complicated by the fact that, due to atmospheric refraction, the sun is actually still below the horizon when it becomes visible.
Didn't see the green flash then. I've only seen it once in an unexpected place, Cardigan bay, that virtually never gets deeper than 30 meters. Never thought i'd see it there, but i did, sitting outside the Glengower hotel. It flashed at me through the sea water.
Worked on my dad's fishing boat as a Charter skipper and deckhand, plus a lot of commercial fishing. In all that time I have seen the green spot twice and they were on the same 3 day weekend. So what caused it the first dusk happened to still be in effect the 2nd evening out at Santa Barbara Island some 22 miles west of Catalina Island.
I’ve seen it 3 times in my life with the naked eye. You need a perfect horizon with no fog or haze. Sometimes it lasts for a split second; sometimes it lasts for several seconds. The longest one I saw was about 3 seconds. It helps to live on a West coast-just gives you a lot more opportunity.
Red. Orange. Yellow, Green. Blue. Indigo. Violet. The primary colors of the visible spectrum. As the suns rays pass through the atmosphere, the light is bent and refracted. Sometimes the green wavelength is amplified, as shown in this video, and becomes more visible. Pretty cool physics!
Little tip if you close your eyes leading up to the sun setting and have someone tell you to open them just as the sun is setting (last 10 seconds or so) on the horizon, you will actually see a bright green flash shoot into the sky from the zenith of the sun. It's pretty cool. Has to be vary clear on the horizon and timed perfectly. Good luck!
my brother , my wife and me were looking at the sunset on our boat in the bahamas and we were talking about the green flash and thought it was nonsense . all of a sudden all three of us jumped up and said " i saw it " almost in unison , that was strange because we looked a a lot of sunsets on a boat and never saw it before .
You'll need a *REALLY BIG* zoom to bring THAT back up!! 😳😳😲 😎 Explanation: Flat Earthers claim that after you see a ship or the sun or whatever go past the horizon you can "bring it back up" by zooming in on it because the Earth is not really a sphere and the disappearance of the thing is (supposedly) "really" an optical illusion. (This is one of the many ways you can tell that Flat Earthers are not really sincere.)
I’m sorry, but I don’t see a hint of a green flash. As a keen long lens photography enthusiast, I am used to removing purple and green fringing (CA) from high contrast scenes, like this one...
Ash's Rockruff be like: "It's time to evolve🗿" (LMAO My brother is playing the game in the background as soon as I commented this? Coincidence? I THINK NOT!) Btw, I have never actually seen one before. It would be great if I got to see one irl instead if just on the Internet because the best memories are the ones made infront of my irl like the magic that hides itself from the dangerously stupid humans but shows itself to the selfless Chosen Ones like me and others :3 Like a deer staring at me or this bird and his wife sleeping in the corner of the ceiling on our porch and more 😊 I adore most of nature :p The bugs can stay away from me thank you very much 😅 I'm fine with certain bees and wasps, and butterflies and moths. Maybe praying mantises too ;p I hope you all have had a good life so far and continues to stay that way 😊
I read a Chinese zombiepocalypse novel but the green flash described in it wasn't as quiet and calm as this one 😂. Hopefully we don't suddenly see green flashes covering the entire dark sky at certain times and people suddenly fall ill overnight and wake up dead (jk).
This was the very first time I saw the green flash, and I am76 years old! Thanks for the video!
👌
Same here, and I live near the beach in SoCal. Finally!
You saw the green flash in the video or irl?
@@Black88057 in the video. IRL?? What is that?
@@bonblue4993 in real life
red light reflected off a blue surface at the critical angle yields green light. The ocean is working like a filter/prism.
Thanks! I knew it was the sun and water color but it's been 60 years since I was in that art class lol
Unfortunately the other 1000 people in this thread that not read this now believe it‘s aliens in the sun or that the sun is sick.

Hey you made a video about a green flash
@@danak.simpson547 yeah it could never compare to this video 😍🤩
Awesome. I saw my first green flash in Mexico this past January.
As a kid, I read a Reader's Digest article titled " A split-Second of Paradise" which described this phenomena.

I had seen this phenomenon on national geographic,
Appaluse to cameraman for capturing this.

This was mentioned in one of cassandra clare's books and I've always wanted to see it since, thank you for this!!
I was expecting something different with the term "flash".
But, this was still interesting.
wow... so beautiful 😮 i thought it was just a tale told in pirates of the caribbean 🙈
First time I saw the Green Flash was in the early 80s, at a friend's house in the hills above San Jose. Hope life has been good to you, Joan.
I've always read about this. Thanks so much for sharing!!

Wheres the green flash?
They say the green flash signifies when a soul has come back from the dead
I saw one from my God Parents porch in the VI, but the Banana Daquiris may ha helped.

Refer you to the 1986 French film, Le Rayon Vert, in which the green flash at sunset is an important plot element.
That’s pretty cool.

Is it green because of the red being it's complimentary color?

There was no green flash. Just green fringing.
