You see, I live between Yankton and Vermillion South Dakota and can
see all the Yankton
traffic going east. And I have my windows on the west side of the
house with these fiberglass
slightly corrugated fiberglass that I pulled from a greenhouse.

I did, truthfully see a huge redshift of the oncoming headlights of
the traffic from Yankton.

But I tried to duplicate it on another west facing window and was
unable to duplicate, and
the headlights appeared white, not redshifted. At first I thought it
was the angle at which
the fiberglass panels were leaning into the window.

But then I realized it was from an interior light source of a light
fixture that was perpendicular
to the fiberglass in the window.

So here is a odd situation. If I have the interior total darkness the
headlights of cars from
Yankton heading east are white lights. But if I have an interior light
on that is perpendicular
directed to the fiberglass, then the headlights of distant cars are
redshifted.

Is this Diffraction? Or is it a highly more complicated and complex
physics explanation?

It obviously is a redshift of oncoming headlights. But why is there
two light sources needed?

Between Yankton and Vermillion? That means you're either in Mission Hill,
Meckling, or Gayville. (My inlaws are in both Dakotas, all the way from
Sioux Falls to Pierre, Watertown, Dell Rapids, Roberts County, and Richland
County, and one in the Cities. If you're a Dakotan, you'll understand that
term.)

Oops! If they were coming at you, it would shift towards the blue end of
the spectrum.

Try it in Clay County, as that's where you'll find at USD.
