Anyone Else Seen the FLASHES in the SKY at Night?

I call it lightning

I live in Conroe Tx and I have seen it also..Its been tripping me out

Yes, Alot last night. Georgia.

Heat lightning

Do you even lightning bro?

Me too in GA, same thing.
Could be the solar storm.

I first seen these flashes in the night sky over 15 yrs ago I timed then and their mostly around 8 mins apart here in the UK

Lightningtards, heat lightning flashes on the horizon. The flashes we are seeing is overhead with no clouds visible.

Yes. They are saying hello to you!

I've noticed that certain satellites actually spin while orbiting. The solar array reflects the suns light torwards the ground at a particular moment during the rotation which results in the flash of light people may notice.

Thread: August is Expected to be an Exciting Month for Skywatchers


sky is busy some of it here

I saw this last fall and it was past midnight so it couldn't have been reflecting sunlight. Moonlight reflected, perhaps, seems like it would be too dim, though. Good point.

Im in West Australia
Have seen them often.
once seen one that was flashing on a regular time period of every 50 seconds.Seen it 4 nights consecutively and in the same location every night.
It was out near Orion constilation

Yrs,I have seen this. Thanks for posting, now I know I'm not seeing things that aren't there...

I have seen these on a couple of occasions. It is a bright flash, like you described. The ones I saw would flash about every 15-30 seconds. The location would change between each flash, by about 20-30 arc degrees. Craziest thing...

update your flash player

I love the idiots who say heat lightning (there is no such thing) or lightning when there was not a cloud for 500 miles so try again.

No, these flashes have a definite point of origin. I first noticed it from the corner of my eye and thought it was just a weird trick of the eye but when I saw it several times with friends I knew it was more than that.

definitely -for the last few years.

Yeah, we had lightening last night in GA tards - BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT THE OP IS TALKING ABOUT. Not heat lightening either because I've seen it in winter as well.

It's usually between 2 and 5 am. Lights up a whole area like a flash bulb for a split second. Blink and you miss it.

Yes, just as you said. Looking up at stars, and then super bright flash like someone turned light on and off.
Not always in same spot either.

Yes...

So this is not a local incident it's widespread.

Drones?

bout 3 weeks ago, around midnight. South East Pa. Northwestern Sky. Flashes with a definite pattern, low on horizon, about 30 seconds apart. Went on for 10-15 minutes before I just got bored and stopped watching. Definite predictable pattern to the flashes, and not a cloud in the sky.

I know what heat lighting looks like. This was not lightning.

Thanks for posting OP. There's a lot going on in the sky.

yes I see these often, i work outside at night.

Op means a single point of light flashing in the sky, as he said it looks just like a flashbulb. Bright, then it slowly fades out. I hear iridium flares, satellites catching early morning sun over the horizon and reflecting briefly. I figure it's the space fleet hitting warp speed, shrug.

BINGO that's exactly what it looks like

:ohlook:

When I see them, they don't move. It's stationary. I've never seen on light up either. They always catch my eye after they've lit up. But they are by far brighter than even ISS. It literally looks like an old time flashbulb.

Here's iridium flares:

Yes it's not iridium flares looks nothing like that.

yes, something is going on, see them on crystal clear nights with only stars out...flashes, like a camera flashbulb going off

Since so many people have seen them this thread should be pinned for discussion.

Express your heart, you will see them all the time, they are ufos, maybe your galactic family.

Wonder if someone could get video of this event.
