Default Large flashes over Alton this AM?

This morning, just before 6:30 AM, I saw three consecutive, dome-shaped, flame-colored flashes on the northeast horizon, which would be toward the Alton Bay area.

As far as I know, there was no lightning in the area, and we didn't hear any booms or explosions. Anyone hear about anything happening in that general direction at that time?

Default Aliens Seem to Love NH....

So I did a google search after reading this post to see if there were any legit news reports from WMUR, NH1, etc, regarding the orange flashes. The first result that came up was this:

It would seem that the little green men love the State of NH
Maybe Barney and Betty Hill were telling the truth after all....

One of the reports was "I was walking at 3:30 am when I looked up and saw a flash" 3:30am??? That explains it right there.

Yes... thanks for the correction. Must have been a mind plant mistake the aliens made when they returned me to the planet.

We had a major geomagnetic storm today, lots of good looks towards the northern sky.
