I have. Not from the air, neither from a boat, but from shore. Just once (or *maybe* twice in 40 years). It is real enough. -- Seppo P. What's wrong with Theocracy? (a Finnish Taliban, Oct 1, 2005) |

I've seen it in tropical latitudes, only, and never from our beaches here in
Washington State. Now to be honest, it's a bit chilly to hang around one of our beaches, and if you did, there is no guarantee of a proper sunset, so... maybe it's there.

Daniel Gallery's books where he mentioned the phenomenon and talked about somebody prolonging it by flying towards the sunset at exactly the correct speed. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |

Many times, most often on the Midway, '80 - '83. I have seen it from the air once, and maybe 10 or 15 times (or more?) from the Silver Strand in Coronado. The conditions do have to be right for it to be seen. Dave in San Diego |
