I thought this was an urban legend.....cause in all my Jamaican sunsets I had never seen it once!
Until last December! I was alone & thought 'Did I really see that?!' Thankfully, someone else saw it too & confirmed it for me later!
I mentioned the green flash to someone on the pub crawl & they never heard of it before. My mind needs a lil stimulation today so I googled green flash for a true scientific explanation.
Thought I would share!
yes it is true the green flash really happens not sure why ? I was a disbeleiver until I seen it for myself. To this day I have seen 3 green flashes and I was only wrecked one of those times. So keep your eyes wide open. I think you must have a little Irish in you to see it :cool: Always Irie Andy
When I was in Hawaii for work a few years ago, people mentioned this, but I was too busy to stop and watch for it.
8 nights in Jamaica... I think I can slow down enough to watch for it, this time... :)
I keep watching, but I have yet to see it. I think I have always been looking for a great big flash in the sky though. Will need to pay closer attention.
Will have 21 opportunities to do it soon!
Oh, I was so excited....I thought you were going to tell us that you saw one this visit. That would have been a trifecta......dolphin sitings x3, falling star, green flash......perfection. I'm like you, I was wondering if I would ever see one. In over 28 trips, never...until Jan 08! I was truly overjoyed!! Thankfully, there were 4 of us that witness the glory. Dec 2011 and Dec 2012.....saw one each Dec. Hopefully, I will be fortunate enough to see another.
So enjoying your posts.....and you better believe that I would be happy to drag you to some concerts. :)
We go to Jamaica once a year only for about 7-10 days. I thought my chances of seeing the green flash were next to nothing compared to those who go more often and for longer trips. Last July I actually saw the green flash. My husband missed it of course and thought I was crazy!! It was really cool!
WestEndGirl - I'd never heard of it when you told me in December. With any luck we might see it someday...
I have watched for years looking for the infamous green flash. I saw it only once so far in my life. It was on the first night of my very first trip to Negril. I think thats when I fell in love and have been coming back ever since.
We were blessed 4 times in Jan/Feb 2013
