"Green Flash" appears over the Chesapeake Bay after Sunset April 12, 2018 filmed by JBOTV

The elusive “Green Flash” is an atmospheric condition where due to refraction, the curvature of the earth the atmosphere causes the light rays of the sun to separate into different colors. A green or green yellow flash sometimes can be seen as the sun dips below the horizon. This is a rare occurrence to see and one we have been chasing for many years to capture on camera. So, once again after setting up our cameras to record the sunset we then proofed the footage in the studio. To my shock I immediately saw what seemed clearly to be a green yellowish flash, actually it was a double flash, the first and second occur at these timeline points. The conditions were as follows, super clear night not really a cloud in the sky. In a distant horizon you can clearly see the sun drop below the horizon, then a green yellow bloom just above where the sun set (no clouds). The second is clearly seen and the upper arch is visible fairly high off the horizon, then quickly moves down to the horizon.

So on a super clear evening, there did not seem to be any clouds that would cause some sort of reflection or anomaly. In all the years I have been chasing sunsets, this is the first time I have ever seen this type of artifact, anomaly, or Green Flash. There could also have been some sort of weather condition far away that was not visible to the naked eye that could have caused this effect. Only God, Nature, or a good meteorologist could know for sure. (In that order)

We were fortunate to be filming in 4K and output the project in a 1080 resolution. This enabled us to create a two camera/shot effect without affecting the resolution. The camera was a hero 4 silver mounted on a gorilla grip. POV was on the lower Eastern Shore at Mermaid Bay Beach looking west across the Chesapeake Bay of Virginia.

Whatever it was one thing is for sure, it was a beautiful sunset. More to come.

Without further adoo, let me introduce to you our 1000 subscriber Ms. Marjorie Moore and her partner Mr. Wayne Bradby!!

Marjorie Moore Subscriber #1000 JBOTV

I had a chance to speak with them and here is a little bit about our 1000 subscribers!

Where are you from?

Everywhere…army brat…lived everywhere from Washington state to Italy. Born in OK. Marjorie-NJ.

Where is your favorite place to travel?

Anywhere there are fish. Favorite places include Africa and Maui/Kaui/

Favorite all time recipe?

Crayfish etoufee and potstickers. Will put mine up against any restaurant! (not trying to brag, but both dishes are that good!) Marjorie makes some mean ox tails!

Work?

Owner of Acrylic-Werks polish…best product on the market for multiple surfaces on boats (eisenglass, hull, outboard motor housing, stainless steel rails, etc.), auto, and aircraft. www.acrylicwerks.com and also consultant to Elder Resource Benefits Consulting, which helps veterans and surviving spouses obtain a benefit from the VA called Aid and Attendance, which can help them pay for home care or assisted/independent living facilities. www.elderbenefitsconsulting.com

Favorite hobby?

I’m assuming that’s supposed to be hobby…as hoppy sounds beer-related. Travel, fishing (kayak-fresh and salt and fly fishing) , cooking and drinking, photography

What is your favorite body of water?

Depends on time of year and what I’m targeting. Blessed to live in the Virginia Beach, VA area where we usually have something going on year round. On the salt side…favorite target is reds and speckled trout, but love tangling with big blues during spring run and then stripers (when the bother to show up) in the fall/winter months. We also have a ton of freshwater opportunities within a short distance to the house. All kayak fishing for the most part unless I get an invite from a boat owner. For fresh, I’m liking citation sized catfish. (have 4 citations in past two years for channel cats)

Tell us about your social life, lots of outdoor related travel?

Marjorie loves to fish almost more than me. She’s been more of a shore/surf fisherman, but now has a kayak and will be joining the plastic navy soon!

I am one of the founding members of the Tidewater Kayak Anglers Association, which was founded around 2004. I have been the treasurer since it’s inception and, for the last 12 years, have been the tournament director for our annual “Fish for Charity” kayak fishing tournament. This is one of the largest and longest lasting charity tournaments in the nation and supports two groups, Heroes on the Water and Project Healing Waters. Both groups using fishing related activities to help veterans and their families going through rehab and trying to assimilate back into the civilian community. Am very proud that we have raised over $100,000 to help these groups. https://heroesonthewater.org/ and http://www.projecthealingwaters.org/ Our local HOW chapter is very active and has monthly outings for veterans and their families at no cost to them!

What would you like JBOTV to film more of?

Get you on a kayak for a show!

Thanks Wayne and Marjorie!!
