We received some emails about mysterious lights toward the mountains last night (Wednesday).
Reader Joe Pagan, who lives around Morada and Lake, reports:
This evening I was sitting in my back yard & I saw this brighter than usual light through the clouds facing the mountains ... At first I thought it might be the moon but the moon phase is half full.
Do you know if they’re perhaps filming or doing some work close to the mountains? Has anyone else in altadena noticed this? Its cloudy so there’s no way for me to tell the distance of the light. It might not be a big deal but I’ve just never seen the sky that bright...
Meanwhile, Matthew Shropshire shares his own picture and an explanation: he was saw the lights, but traced them to a film production at Mariposa and El Molino. This mystery is solved!
