Remember when the lights appeared over Georgia?

I remember back when I was about 5 or 6 when we moved from Germany to the US, we were traveling through Ft. Gardens - somewhere downtown when we noticed that everyone on the streets had stopped and were looking up at the clouds. My dad pulled over and we got out and saw flashes of lights behind the cloud cover, yellow, blue, green, red just various colors flashing one after the other which made the cloud looked colored. My mon got scared and jumped back into the car and told us boys to get in... I was amazed as I continued to watch until my dad told us to get in. I'm not sure of the exact date but I was there when it was reported all over the papers and dismissed as a weather balloon... yeah right! I was very young then, but I won't forget the colors within the clouds.
