Since I'm asking I can't beat you out! But for once it gives Bart Sr. a
chance to participate.

How many types of Green Flash('s) is it possible to see in one day? Define
each.

M.

Since that one was for Katy I'll give her points anyway. The best answer I
have to date is four, not counting flying east at a fast clip.

So for the rest of you . . .how is it possible to see four GF's in one day
yet all different and all at different times?

Note: this came up on a day when we saw three. I've never seen the fourth
one myself. But it sure is a benefit of working the 4-8 watch, along with
those purple and rose sunsets!

I suppose you could see a bunch of them if you could fly east faster than
the sun was setting in the west....the green flash thing has always been
an
episode in futility for me....I'd rather see rosy pink and purple sunsets
than a green flash....no points for me....

I never even seen one green flash.... and that was with people who claimed
to have seen it while I was present.
No I'm not colour blind.
I have never seen a green flash at sunset.

Never seen one either, a flash that is, but last time out on one night we
saw a green halo around the sun for a fairly extended period, maybe several
seconds before it dipped below the horizon. I can only assume that this is
what everyone was always fussing about.

Those that stare at the setting sun easily see complementary colors

and also burn out bazillions of retina cells in the process.....I'll forego
the green flash, thank you

There is no need to fly east ... On the West Coast you can see as many
as you like by flying on a north/south line and changing altitude
(slight climb) as the sun sets.

In more years at sea than I care to think about, I have yet to see a
green flash while onboard ship.

Rick

I've never seen one either. My understanding is there
are two. One in the morning and one in the evening.
I'm told it occurs just as the upper limb of the sun
appears or disappears, and must be viewed over
water.

I think it's all a hoax.....
