Extremely bright white light that I captured on camera over the city of La Crosse WI
We were visiting in La Crosse WI over Labor Day weekend. We had just gotten off the River Boat Dinner Cruise headed back to our Hotel room at the Radisson. As we were walking in Riverside Park along the Mississippi River I was taking pictures. The sun was just setting for the evening. I had snapped a few pictures of the sunset and some of my family.
I came upon this beautiful bronze sculpture of a playful young boy & girl. I took a picture with my Canon Power Shot digital camera. I was not using the view finder, instead I was using the digital screen. My boyfriends sister was standing right next to me at the time. An extremely bright light just above the trees in the eastern night sky appeared on the screen along with the bronze sculpture. We immediately took our eyes off the camera screen to see what was in the sky, but nothing was there. My boyfriend thought that it was the flash from the camera. Within seconds I took another picture, using the same camera and setting. Absolutely no light or flash in the sky.
It’s appeared at first to be a six pointed star shape, but after some thought I believe it could have been a horizontal oval shape. The shutter could have stayed open for a second or two and I maybe caught on camera it changing from horizontal to vertical and then disappearing before our eyes.
