I saw a flash of light near the star cluster Pleiades

I think i know what you mean.

I am a stargazer for many years and I occasionally see strange pin-prick flashes of light among the stars at night.

Sometimes they are very bright, like a camera flashes, and shine straight through cumulus clouds.

Perhaps an event similar to this:
“Normally the kind of cosmic activity we’re looking for at this distance would be very faint but this was so bright that it saturated the equipment,” said Professor Matthew Bailes of Swinburne University in Melbourne.

The burst was so bright that at the time it was first recorded it was dismissed as man-made radio interference. It put out a huge amount of power (10exp33 Joules), equivalent to a large (2000MW) power station running for two billion billion years."

not to frighten you, but I "saw" what I thought was a bright flash in the stars about 2 years ago...even detailed it here, thinking I had witnessed a supernova or something, and within a little less than 2 weeks I was hospitalized with a transient ishemic attack, or "baby" stroke...

You know around 3:45 I was in bed trying to sleep and I thought I saw a flash of light outside my window.

They are called 'meteors' that happen to be travelling in the line of sight.

i've seen a few flashes in the night sky before.

one thing i found while researching is that they might be iridium satellites catching a bit of the sun. i'm no scientist, and just throw this out there for you all....

Flashes like that are usually caused by light reflecting off communication satellite. There is a whole array of those things up there and they flash ocassionally.

I do not remember all details,, so you might Google it.

keep looking up you will see more incredible lights in the sky and holograms too.

Did anyone else see that flash of light near that star cluster ?

Also the Pleiades is very bright tonight. Brighter than i usually see it from this very light polluted area.

I know its a long shot but if anyone else noticed that flash of light near Pleiades (the Seven Sisters) i would like to hear about it.

it was just a very quick flash of light there ...i know i didnt imagine it.

So every strange anomaly in the sky they are going to blame on satellites ? lol


They just dont understand the powers of nature.

I too, was noticing how clear the Pleiades were the other night. Usually they appear as a fuzzy blob, even in this no smog town I live in,

but the other night I could see each star.

and I doubt my eyesight has improved itself over the years
