Multi-colored light witnessed on Castle Lake Mount Shasta, CA.
My girlfriend and I were up at Castle Lake, located above the city of Mount Shasta, we go swimming and hiking up there in the summer and we were curious to see if it was still frozen over from the winter, and if the trails were clear of snow yet. There’s still a lot of snow pack so you can’t get up above the lake very easily, and most everybody had cleared out of there by the time the sun went down. As far as I know we were the last people to leave, and it was almost dark.
As we were walking back from the shore towards our car, we heard a weird, low humming sound coming from the lake. It was the kind of thing you might not even normally hear, except there was no noise or people or wind up there at all when it started. We turned around and saw a flashing multi-colored sphere of light hovering about 50 feet off the lake, further towards the back of the lake near the cliff wall.
We both saw it at the same time and wondered if it was some kind of flare hanging in the air, but it didn’t look fiery and it wasn’t smoking.
My friend was wondering if it was the light of a climber on the cliffs, but we could see light strobing off of the sphere and flashing against the cliff wall so it was definitely hovering in the air and throwing off light around it.
It lasted for only a few seconds then it vanished again, along with the humming sound. We weren’t freaked out by it or anything, but we’re still not sure what we saw that evening.
