Well gaulllyyyy... looky here what it says about flashes of blue light...
Ship disappears in an alleged blue flash of light
During this second attempt, the ship disappeared from the Philadelphia Naval Yard in a blinding flash of blue light and was reportedly seen off the coast of Norfolk, VA, before returning in the same mysterious fashion to Philadelphia.
Flash of blue light means big trouble for workers mixing a liquid batch of uranium:
That happened yesterday: a JCO official said there was about 16kg of enriched uranium in the tank, eight times the normal working amount. Nobody had an early explanation for why so much was being used.
Messrs Ouchi, Shinohara and Yokokawa saw a blue flash. Scientists think that in fact there is nothing blue about the light from the reaction, but that its colour results from the high-energy neutrons blasting the nerves in the back of the eye.
To those exposed, it does not matter. Anyone who sees the flash has been exposed in an instant to thousands of times more radiation than they would expect in a year.
UFO sends an alarming flash of blue light
He never finished the thought. Uri's peculiar dance ended abruptly
in a crackling flash of blue light that knocked him backward, flat
on his backside in the snow. He was up again in a flash, jabbering
excitedly.
Flash of blue light causes R. sphaeroides cells to change their swimming speed
Change in swimming speed of normal-light-grown R. sphaeroides cells in response to a flash of light of a different wavelength and duration. (A and C) Average behavior of 10 cells in response to a 1-s flash of white (A) or blue (C) light. (B and D) Change in mean speed of the population of at least 100 free-swimming cells in response to a 30-s pulse of white (B) or blue (D) light. (E and F) Behavior of two individual cells at the end of a flash of blue light. , light on; , light off. The apparent slow swimming speed on the step down in light is the result of the distribution of response times shown by cells in the population (E and F).
Blue flash olf light seen before a ghost haunts a house
I was sitting on her bed telling a story when out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a flash of blue light. I didn’t say anything but she saw my face go pale and I stopped talking. She immediately jumped up and said "Oh its ok, its ok, look its just nerves, nothing here." She walked over to the door and made sure it was solidly shut...
...My best friend cried desperately for me to keep going " Don’t Look just run PLEASE just GO!!!!!! She grabbed my arm but it was too late...
Wintergreen Lifesaver mints emit a flash of blue light when broken
...When a lifesaver is broken, the positive and negative charges in the sugar molecules split, creating an electric field across the break. This field is strong enough to excite nitrogen molecules in the air with the result that they reemit the energy they absorbed from the electric filed in a burst of ultraviolet radiation, which we can't see. This radiation is then absorbed by the wintergreen oil that is used to flavor the lifesaver. This energy is then emitted as a flash of blue light that we can see.
When particles break the light barrier, they produce a flash of blue light
When particles move at these extreme speeds they produce a brief flash of blue light, called Cherenkov radiation - it's the light analogy of the sonic boom produced when something moves faster than the speed of sound in air.
Now I always knew there was something to that "flash of blue light" stuff, and this pretty much proves it!
