Close encounter in Texas, missing time.

We were staying at a friends in the country outside Van Alstyne, Texas and we were sitting outside looking at the woods out back. We were 60 miles North of Dallas The woods flashed 2 or 3 times like a strobe light or camera flash. The entire area did this and we were amazed not knowing what happened..there is no one around this area in the country.. we went inside and then went out front only to see coming from the side of this place [house] a disc go sailing by in what appeared to be leaving the woods or taking off from the woods behind us SHOOTING OFF across the sky going east getting higher as it flew..Not a sound from this thing. at first thought it was a plane or jet but not so because there was no sound?? It was about 200 feet away from the northside of the house too close to not be heard....Brilliant lights! When our friends came out we were aware of some missing time? 2 days. Very confusing for us. there was more to this story but we kinda put it aside.
