Phosphorescent Splendors Over Swampscott Rocks
An observer recalls a Friday night display from Tedesco rocks Swampscott Massachusetts where heavy surf lit up with phosphorescent glow. Waves formed a wall of light forty to fifty feet high and colors shifted from silver to emerald as the sea appeared to blaze. The vivid scene is likened to a city of gems and to apocalyptic vision, described as an unforgettable lifetime experience and a marvel beyond any prior natural phenomenon observed.
