flashes and power failure in florida
While relaxing on a clear evening sipping a cup of coffee, I was gazing almost straight up into the sky when I saw what appeared to be a white flash...The flash dwarfed any of the stars in the sky and was obviously not an airplane headlight. A few seconds later, a smaller, less intense flash appeared about 2 degrees to the left of where the original flash had been.
I probably would not have given the incident a second thought, except that later that night (about 4:00 am) I observed what appeared to be a helicopter approaching my car. When the aircraft was almost directly overhead, the headlights on the car went dead. I was not able to get them to come back on until after the aircraft was out of sight (about 15 seconds).
