Green Flash



Top Men have often wondered about the legendary Green Flash said to appear on rare occasions at the horizon just as the sun sets. Photographer Chuck Baker managed to snap some photos along the California coast last month with a green flash rolling out of the top of the sun. Top Men made this movie.

And for those of you whose favorite color is blue, how about the even more rare Blue Flash.

Interesting stuff, but we won't believe until we see with our own eyes.

(Okay, back to the turkey.)

UPDATE (11/27): The late Jef Raskin (the human interface legend) snapped this incredible green flash photo. Note the perturbation from a contrail that slices in front of the sun.
