Flash lights in the distance. (in Sendai)
Was it a comet???

OMG exactly the same thing happened here in Peru in the 2007 earthquake!!! people freaked out, thinking we where on an Alien invasion! It got almost no press, one friend saw this same type lights from the beach, she says she saw them coming from the sea horizon and also coming down from the sky. I saw them from the city, and I saw something shockingly similar to the video of lights in Sendai.

It looks like some electric phenomenon. It happenend in Santiago de Chile too in February 2010 and it has been attributed to disturbances in high voltage electric lines (as a hypothesis). The only examples seen on youtube are indeed from big cities. I wonder if the same has been observed outside cities were no power lines are present.
Some luminous phenomena has also been reported to be the result of the stresses on certain rocks but i don't know if these flashes are part of them.

My friend was with her school mates and they all where on a trip to the south of lima, outside the city and they all saw this phenomena coming from the sky and from the sea into the air where it flashed very strongly! Same when I saw the lights they came from the sea area.

In the sessions, it describes this being a reason that interdimensional craft, hang around fault lines, as means of siphoning of the this kind elector magnetic energy, that is discharged from tectonic plate movements. I don't have search engine for that session, but will give it a random search, to see if i can find that particular one...........But it very well could be a transformer malfunctioning, due to a surge or power lines colliding.
Could it be related to this?:

Recent events provide us with a great case study of the cosmic forces that may lie behind large storms such as cyclones, hurricanes, blizzards and much more. The recent events I speak of include the major blizzard that swept across the Midwestern and Eastern US as well as the punishment Cyclone Yasi inflicted on eastern Australia earlier last week. Both of these storms grew to enormous sizes during a time period that coincided with the Earth being lashed by a solar storm just following a New Moon. As strange as this may sound, this isn't the first time that celestial alignments along side of solar activity have spurred such events. If a correlation between these factors exists, as we suspect, then this overturns much of what is commonly believed about Earth weather and, as we'll see, even geology.
[...]
As James McCanney explains in an interview he did for Spectrum Magazine in 2003:
The [New] Moon moves in front of Earth, breaks that electrical flow [between the sun and Earth], and then moves out of the way. It gives us tremendous bombardment after that Moon moves out of the way, the first and second day after the New Moon. That's the condition that has been identified as being one of the leading causes of kicking-off major hurricanes and storms. What it does is: The Moon is interacting with the solar electric field. It's that CHANGE which causes the storms, and causes the environment around Earth to change, and thus affects Earth weather.
[...]
ow, I'm sure those of skeptical mind are probably saying, "So what? Don't earthquakes happen every day?" That is true, but one must take into consideration all the other factors we've noted above which also discharge the planet: events such as lightning storms, cyclones, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. Once we factor in all of these discharging events, maybe then we will begin to see the overall patterns. Any of these events taken in isolation show us nothing, but when brought together there seems to be a correlation - as recent events show. Every massively energetic event that happens on the surface of this planet is likely the result of activity in our solar system along with the Earth's attempt to correct any electrical imbalances from such. As Dmitriev writes:
The facts of various luminescences in the atmosphere were known long ago: preceding and accompanying earthquakes; preceding and accompanying volcanic eruptions; before and during the passage of tropical hurricanes; during a thunderstorm's development; and above the tectonic fault areas. Actually, there's no large-scale high-energy event in the depths of the Earth or on its surface which would not be accompanied by luminous objects. Without any reason or proof, these emitting atmospheric objects are considered as effects of the "main" events, i.e. earthquakes, hurricanes, eruptions, tornadoes, fault-developing processes, thunderstorms, etc. This version of secondary genesis of luminous objects and of their dependence of the main process keeps out of notice thousands of luminous [phenomena], existing in quiet atmospheric and lithospheric conditions.

http://www.naturalnews.com/031992_radioactive_cesium.html
Virtually all the numbers you're seeing about the radioactivity coming out of Fukushima are based on iodine-131 which only has a half-life of 8 days, not the far more dangerous cesium-137 which has a half-life of 30 years. So while the mainstream media reports that "radiation levels are falling rapidly" from the 7.5 million times reading taken a few days ago, what they're not telling you is that the cesium-137 radioactivity will take 30 years just to fall by 50 percent.
It's the great global cover-up in all this: What happens to all the radioactive cesium being dumped into the ocean right now? It doesn't just burn itself out in a few months like iodine-131. This stuff sticks around for centuries.
And so on with the cover up. Remember: three reactors have a "meltdown", in plain words: uranium and Plutonium are outside without any control... ok this is a bit old, but maybe anyone can find some interesting:

A Russian nuclear expert has stated that the crisis situation in Fukushima is much worse than that in Chernobyl and might lead to a change in the scale for measuring nuclear emergencies.
"The crisis in Japan will cost a lot more than Chernobyl in terms of economic and human losses," according to nuclear engineer Nataliya Mironova, who is a leading figure in Russia in the field.
Mironova is visiting the USA together with other people engaged in anti-nuclear activism on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl tragedy of April 26, 1986.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that radioactive water is leaking from a breach in the Fukushima NPP.

Japanese officials have conceded that the battle to salvage four crippled reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has been lost.
The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), said the reactors would be scrapped, and warned the operation to contain the nuclear crisis, well into its third week, could last months.
Tepco's announcement came as readings showed a dramatic increase in radioactive contamination in the sea near the atomic complex.
The firm's chairman, Tsunehisa Katsumata, said it had "no choice" but to scrap the Nos 1-4 reactors,
.../... On Tuesday, a US engineer who helped install reactors at the plant said he believed the radioactive core in unit No 2 may have melted through the bottom of its containment vessel and on to a concrete floor.

Pentagon preparing for a nuclear worst-case scenario at Fukushima
If the deteriorating situation at a Japanese nuclear plant veers toward a worst-case meltdown scenario, people across the country — including 86,000 American servicemembers, civilian employees and their dependents — could face an unprecedented atomic disaster.
The Pentagon on Wednesday began laying out precautions to keep troops safe, announcing a 50-mile no-go zone around the unstable Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex that is wider than the official Japanese evacuation zone. The U.S. Embassy in Japan told American citizens within 50 miles of the plant to evacuate if possible or stay indoors.

Radioactive water has been spilling into the Pacific Ocean from a crack in a maintenance pit discovered Saturday at Japan's distressed nuclear plant.
The crack was discovered on the edge of the plant, according to Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency spokesman Hidehiko Nishiyama. It was most likely caused by the March 11th earthquake and tsunami that ravaged the coast of Japan and the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex, according to the Associated Press.

The air above the radioactive water in the pit is measuring 1,000 millisieverts of radiation per hour, according to Nishiyama. Risk of cancer is greatly increased by exposure to 500 millisieverts over a short period of time.
El aire encima del agua radiactiva de la fuga, es 1000 m. por hora. El riesgo de cáncer es altamanete aumentado con exposiciones de 500ms. en un corto espacio de tiempo-

Meanwhile, international nuclear experts believe that melted fuel in reactor No. 1 has caused a "localized criticality," which is a small, uncontrolled chain reaction that occasionally emits a burst of heat, radiation and a blue flash of light.

Executive Vice President of AREVA at Stanford University on 3.21.2011 said:
Arnie Gunderson comments on the nuclear industry closing ranks to cover up the facts at the Fukashima Dai-ichi nuclear reactor meltdown. The temperatures in the reactors exceeded 5000 degrees Fahrenheit. These temperatures are high enough to melt uranium, zirconium and stainless steel.
The latest news from the New York Times Asia Bureau is a typical report from the increasingly chaotic situation at the Fukashima Dai-ichi nuclear plant. The intense radiation hampers efforts to contain the Godzilla of the atomic age loose again in Japan.
