I've seen the one near Va. What was amazing, we were doing a civil war reenactment at Fredricksburg and saw it that night. Robert Lee saw it the night of the battle of Fredricksburg, as did all the others I'm sure, but commented it was an omen of victory. Course they had already won and the union slipped away the next day.

Felt strange being on Marye's Heights that evening just as Lee was and seeing a rather rare event as he did.
