I saw the green flash for the first time 2 weeks ago. Watching the
sunset over the ocean from the beach in Oahu in a clear blue sky. Just
after the huge ball disappeared, it happened. To me, it looked like a
1/2 moon shape, sort of a 'medium to bright' green just abouve the
horizon and lasted not more than a second or 2.
OM content: I wished I had my 350+1.4x pointing at it. I watched and was
ready for the flash several nights after that. Never saw it again.
