Bridlington, England

I was in my room talking to my boyfriend on the phone when i heard a noise that sounded VERY close. It sounded as if it was down my street kind of the noise a plane would make i guess but more of a consistent humming noise it was very loud and seemed to keep getting louder and louder then stopping completely then about 2minutes later it would return. I guess I am the only witness i put 2 because my boyfriend could hear the sound on the phone. I was really quite scared at this time it didnt cross my mind that it would be a UFO or anything i was thinking more like a helpicopter crash landing at first but then when it stopped and came back again (it repeated this cycle about 3 or 4 times, i had no idea what it could be and i didnt dare look. It got quieter and seemed to be further away so i finally got the courage to go look out the window and i saw a really bright flash of light so i backed up from the window and ran out the room woke my parents up and told them what had happened, they thought i had been dreaming because i looked shocked as if id just has a nightmare. My boyfriend was still on the phone because id just left it on my bed while i looked and he said he had heard a high pitched machine like noise then heard me open my bedroom door so must have been when i ran out. When my parents went to check nothing was there i spent the rest of the night downstairs watching tv and havent heard/seen anything since. I asked my parents to ask the neighbours about it and they just asked are next door ones and they said they hadnt heard anything.
