Flash of light out of which two objects diverged
This event is almost the same as the one I reported a year earlier, except that instead of two flashes, there was only one, and the objects in question did not move relative to the backdrop of stars; or if they did move, my primitive discernment could not perceive the motion.
A yellow vertical flash appeared in the SW sky at approximately 11:40 PM; and since this was the harbinger last year to the same highly atypical event, I fixed my view on this part of the sky. At exactly 11:45 PM, two objects appeared in this dark space of sky about eight fingers wide at arms length from each other--one slightly higher than the other from my vantage point. These two reprised the same 'communication' as the last occurrence in that the lower flared twice and dimmed, then the other flared once and dimmed. This activity went on for about five minutes, then desisted. Inasmuch as I have harbored an affinity for skywatching, I am quite familiar with the wild twinkling of stars like Sirius, but this was not a persistent twinkle; it seemed like an attentive statement/question and sensible response. After the 'flared conveyance', the two objects remained in a comparitvely dimmed state for another minute after which they disappeared. Does the earth move fast enough to obscure the view of two lighted objects if they are six finger widths rotated horizontally at arms length from the horizon? Also, let me add parenthetically that the horizon in this part of the sky is uncontaminated with ambient light.
Approximately fifteen minutes later, I saw the same incident in the WNW sky--same object position relative to the horizon and each other, with the same type of 'flared conveyance'. After about one minute they too disappeared.
I went out the following night to investigate if what I had seen were stars; but owing to the sky's overcast melingering, I went out last night when the sky conferred clarity upon me. That same space was bereft of anything visible, to me at least. This dark space where the two objects had been two nights prior plyed my vacuous mind with questions for which, obviously, I possessed viciously inadequate answers. More, even if the two objects were indeed stars whose presence was precluded by some atmospheric variant the last night, why do these illumined objects only appear to the initiating flash? I am not concluding causation, just an observed corrrelation.
