A 20 degree wide deep blue shaft of light from the horizon to the zenith just after sunset lasting 20 minutes Just after sunset, on the leeward coast, I observed a 20 degree wide shaft of deep blue light from approximately where the sun set to the zenith. I thought at first it was a military laser effect which I am familiar with, but it was too wide a beam and I believe it must be related to the aurora like phenomenon. It was not a cloud. It was deep blue and distinct. It disappeared after about 20 minutes. It was probably a plasma like effect in the atmosphere. It was unusual. ((NUFORC Note: Probably not an aurora, given the time of the sighting. Possible shaft of sunlight?? PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Just after sunset, on the leeward coast, I observed a 20 degree wide shaft of deep blue light from approximately where the sun set to the zenith. I thought at first it was a military laser effect which I am familiar with, but it was too wide a beam and I believe it must be related to the aurora like phenomenon. It was not a cloud. It was deep blue and distinct. It disappeared after about 20 minutes. It was probably a plasma like effect in the atmosphere. It was unusual.
