Discoverer of Pluto Clyde Tombaugh: "8 Mysterious Green Lights"

Posted by Clyde Tombaugh

I doubt that the phenomenon was any terrestrial reflection, because... nothing of the kind has ever appeared before or since... I was so unprepared for such a strange sight that I was really petrified with astonishment.

(Clyde Tombaugh in 1931 with the telescope he used to discover Pluto)

These things, which do appear to be directed, are unlike any other phenomena I ever observed. Their apparent lack of obedience to the ordinary laws of celestial motion gives credence.
