UFO sightings. Ok, so I am looking for some ideas on this one. I have always been a sky watcher. Even when I was a boy I would love to look for constellations and planets usually with the naked eye. I never saw anything even remotely unexplainable. I found it easy-peasy to locate satellites in polar orbits with the naked eye and have watched them for 30 years. I know what they look like. I have watched airplanes fly by both low and high and know all about the landing lights and wing tip flashers in different colors, etc. Definitely can identify them as well. I have seen TONS of shooting stars and can recognize them easily, both bright and dim.

Well, my anons this last year I have been seeing something else. I saw it for the first time this last winter on a very clear night. It was a single, extremely bright white flash. Think of a flash bulb seen from a guy standing on a stage with really bright lights. There is no tail of any kind. no pattern of any kind. Sometimes there is only ONE and sometimes there is quite a few in a given area seemingly randomly. occasionally they are covering a distance across the sky and almost NEVER move in a straight line. The first one I saw I thought for sure was a tumbling satellite. I was catching a reflection off of the solar panels flashing away but it did not follow a straight line, not even close relative to the background stars. Anyway, I go look for them every night and see at least one flash every night. Anyone have an explanation for this? Most common area for me to see them is near the little dipper. If you get a really clear night and are away from light polution, go look at the stars for half an hour or so. If its dark enough to see polar orbit satellites with the naked eye then it is dark enough to see the flashes.
