Original Message We live on top of a mountain in North Carolina overlooking a valley outside Asheville. A cell tower in the center of the valley (some 20 mls from our home)has always had a red light blinking on it but tonight starting around 7 pm, the red light switched to a VERY bright strobe light that flashes every 2 seconds! (It's quite a nuisance as it is visible from every South facing room in our house!)

This strobe light is SO bright and my first thoughts are that it is some sort of emergency beacon or locator? Has anyone out there seen anything like this before? We have lived here for 4 years and the light on this tower has always been a dim red blink until tonight?

As a side note (or not), we have seen heavy military plane activity beginning this summer over this valley and over our home, especially late at night. We also experienced strange "Boom" sounds this summer that no one here could explain!
