So, what's going on?
 

Walking home tonight, reflected off the clouds is a green laser beam?
Who is so stupid to have bought such a thing just to annoy air traffic?

Or,

Have I missed yet anothet advert for another money wasting scheme from somewhere?

Oeer, could I have seen signals from little green men 'phoning home?

Re: So, what's going on?
 

Perhaps they were trying to beam you up, and return you to your own planet.

Don't walk so fast next time.

Give 'em a chance to get you.

:D

MargaretR will have the answer!

Re: So, what's going on?
 

I once bought a little one to try to use for aiming a pistol at targets.It didn't work-the pistol had a hell of a kick and the laser fell off every time I pulled the trigger.
My point- it was only small but could reach an astonishing distance, I would imagine it could be quite a problem if a Police helicopter pilot got the beam from one in his eyes.
Are they legal?

Haven't been in the Railway since Saturday.

i heard it was an artist in preston testing this out Yvette Mattern

Re: So, what's going on?
 

Well spotted, cmon-officially switched on tomorrow for Preston Guild. Perhaps they were testing it- is that the direction it came from, Less?
MargaretR will be disappointed!

Re: So, what's going on?
 

Lovely until you read the usual blurb:
With the projection, the artist intends to encompass geographical and social diversity in its reach and symbolise hope.

Why not just say it'll be a lot of pretty colours instead of this meaningless drivel?

Re: So, what's going on?
 

It is just pretentious crap Sue.....makes the artist feel important...bigs them up and glorifies something which might be ....well, a bit ordinary.
Nature does this best at absolutely zero cost.

Re: So, what's going on?
 

They have to say things like that otherwise they won't get any money from the powers that be.

Re: So, what's going on?
 

Yes....sad, isn't it? How did they celebrate these events in days gone by?....Not with such pretentious expensive light shows....they would probably have had a parade, a brass band, the local folk would have put on their Sunday best and taken to the streets.....something that resonates with the character of this fine old town(or City, as it is now).

'Global Rainbow, a £50,000 artwork created by American artist Yvette Mattern.'

Re: So, what's going on?
 

'On International Women's Day, the rainbow will be moved and projected over the city of Preston for four nights.'

It doesn't seem two minutes since you led the Accy Web Brothers for Sisters delegation up the Vagina Monologues at Stanley, on International Wimmins' Day 2006.

Where's the pot of gold?

The Tax Office?

Re: So, what's going on?
 

I saw the laser, too Less. It seemed to be over the West End of Ossy pointing towards Accrington - about 11pm. I wasn't drunk either!

Re: So, what's going on?
 

Well i aint......................................Its Thursday.

Re: So, what's going on?

Re: So, what's going on?

Re: So, what's going on?
 

For that amount of dosh they could have had a couple of community arts flash mob line dances.

;)

Re: So, what's going on?
 

Bloody Yanks get everywhere... aren't there any British artists who would have done it for half price?

Re: So, what's going on?
 

We're told by those in power that we have to say au revoir to nation pride, and think more like Internationalists.

:rolleyes:

Re: So, what's going on?
 

I don't consider turning on a light switch in any way artistic.

Re: So, what's going on?
 

Didn't one guy purporting to be an artist, win the Turner Prize (what a flaming nonsense that is) for a light turning on and off in an empty room:eek::eek: If they call that art well:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Re: So, what's going on?
 

ive seen the light tonight!!! Saw red, blue & green, i'd love to be able to tell you in which direction I saw these lights but im female & dont have a bloody clue!

Re: So, what's going on?
 

When you look down your street your looking North. So, which direction did they come from up or down your street, or left to right.

Re: So, what's going on?
 

Slightly to the left of North! If North''s 12 o'clock, about 9 o'clock'ish (thats looking down my street) look towards end of clement st.
