Location: Dallas, TX, USA

Shape: Flash

A spotting of bright and unusual flashes from the sky.

I didn't really know who to report this to, but a close friend and I witnessed an event that we both believe to be very unusual. At around 1:00AM on the 10th or 11th of June 2001, while we were in his back yard we both witnessed a blinding reflection of bright white light. Neither of us heard anything, nor did we see anything after that. And just now at 1:28AM on the 14th of June 2001, I witnessed a bright white reflection of light off of everything in my back yard as if a helicopter flew directly over my house with it's spotlight shining, but I heard no noise. I immediately went outside to see what it might have been and stood out there for about a minute before I saw two consecutive flashes of an orangish light that reflected off of all of the clouds in the sky facing north of my home which was the direction I was facing at the time of the incident. Again, no noise or any discernible origination of the light was to be recognized. I don't know what to make of it, but I will be watching for any more unnusual activity.
