Montreal’s Mysterious Green Light: No Doubt Robin Williams Having Fun With A Laser Pointer

A recent Montreal weather report featured more than just isobars and cold fronts. Seen in the background of the video of TVA weather specialist Colette Provencher is an unexplained descending ball of green light.

According to Lunar Meteorite Hunters there have been reports of sightings of the ball of light down the Eastern seaboard, including Quebec, Ontario, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, West Virginia and Ohio.

What was it? A prank? A rogue segment from the Aurora Borealis? A test run for New Year’s Eve ball drop? Never has anyone in Montreal, known for its jay-walking, paid this much attention to a green light.

I’m sure some reasonable explanation will emerge soon, but I prefer to think it’s just Robin Williams having some fun with a laser pointer!
