Thursday, December 27 at night, an electric blue light illuminated the sky of New York in the United States. The phenomenon aroused the questions and the surprise of the inhabitants. Some wondered if aliens were not invading them, or if superheroes were fighting somewhere. On social networks, the jokes have flown. An internet user wrote on Twitter: “New York is so expensive that the aliens have moved straight to Queens.”
In reality, this blue light is caused by the explosion of a transformer in a power plant. Police and firefighters quickly arrived and brought the situation under control. Moreover, the incident did not cause any injuries. Only one material consequence has been reported: a traffic disruption at LaGuardia airport. No extraterrestrial is therefore at the origin of this blue light, but the images taken and filmed by the inhabitants are very beautiful.
