than 600 people called the authorities in the Mainz /
Bingen / Hunsrueck / Eifel area, reporting strange
lightning in various colours, visible for at least 8
seconds. At this time the area was mostly cloudy, but
two eyewitnesses claimed they saw what seemed to be a
"meteor trail" in a cloudless part of the sky. Another
person from the city of Mainz reported a series of
sonic
booms some 60 seconds after the lightning had
vanished. The coluors of lightning were described as
intense blue and green. Most people stated that they
had never witnessed anything alike before, not even in
the two
worldwars, as one 98 year old eyewitness underlined.

incidence, but until now, information ist still to
sparsely to draw any conclusions concerning a possible
trajectory. Since I live quite close I might take a
day day off and drive out to interview some witnesses.
