Key Points:
- Residents across Hawaii witnessed a rare green glow in the sky on Sunday, known as "airglow," following a month of wet weather.
- Airglow occurs when particles charged by the sun release energy into the night sky, creating a visible green light.
- Similar to the green flashes seen at sunset, this phenomenon can be captured in real time with the right camera equipment.
- Despite some hopes, the green glow was not a UFO sighting, but a natural atmospheric event.
