Summer Storm Ignites Light Show Above William Annin
Resident Nick Falduto takes photos of strange summer light show at end of 4th of July, that flares up around midnight.
Apparently a light show — free and naturally occurring — took place in the heart of Basking Ridge right at the end of Wednesday's July 4 holiday, between about 11:30 p.m. until about 2 a.m. on Thursday, and resident Nick Falduto snapped some shots.
His viewpoint was from a spot overlooking the trees near the on Quincy Road, he said.
"It was around midnight where there were huge flashes! It was like a nuclear explosion or missiles exploding in the air. Some got so bright it looked like a second sun," Falduto noted.
