I have seen it several times from the beaches of California over the Pacific ocean. However, never quite as clear and crisp as the photo below.
Who else has seen it ???
I have seen it a few times (but not for a while) however I would say it lasts less than a second, it really is just a flash of green. I think it is more prevalent the nearer to the equator you are - at least that is my experience (but could be totally wrong).
