Aerial and Atmospheric Oddities

The "Green Flash" over the North Atlantic: In mid-December, pilots and residents in coastal Ireland and Newfoundland reported a massive, sustained emerald-green atmospheric glow that lasted for over 20 minutes. Meteorologists are debating whether it was a rare interaction between a solar storm and a specific type of chemical aerosol in the upper atmosphere, or a "spectre" phenomenon on an unprecedented scale.

A "Synchronized" Satellite Glitch: For approximately 90 seconds on December 18th, hundreds of low-Earth-orbit satellites reportedly experienced a simultaneous telemetry "hiccup" that caused them to broadcast a repeating sequence of prime numbers. While most engineers suspect a rare solar flare event, some independent researchers are looking into "quantum interference" from a terrestrial source.
