GREENVILLE, S.C. -- It's the talk of the town and beyond.

On radio, on television and by Internet from across the country, the
question of the day has been: So what was that strange light in the
sky last night?

Hundreds of folks across the region called and e-mailed media outlets
and the National Weather Service to report to report strreaks of blue
or blue-green light in the night sky Wednesday at about 8:15 p.m.

"We had several calls last night from people around the area who
saw lights in the sky," Larry Lee of the National Weather Service
told WYFF News 4's Nigel Robertson.

What was it?

"We have no idea," Lee said.

Reports came from as far away as Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina..............

"A blue light streaked across the sky in the Gaffney area. The light ... moved from the Greenville-Spartanburg area toward Huntersville, N.C.," Terry Coyle said. "The object had a bluish green tail about two miles long."
