I thought I might share a strange double sighting In the night sky I had last year around september in Dublin, Ireland.
I did search the forum first but didn't find anything similar.
So, it happened twice both times around 2 o clock at night, one night after another. In both cases I was sitting in my backyard talking to my friend on skype, lying down and looking up at the sky.
I was facing northwest portion of the sky, there were no clouds that would obstruct the view and as I wasn't in the centre, thus light pollution wasn't too strong. The air was crystal clear. One of great features of Ireland.
Suddenly I saw a flash that I looked at directly in a plit second, the way the eyes do it. It was as bright as Venus approximately, cold, blue-ish white, about 60 degrees over the horizon.
And as I looked it kept flashing slightly more frequently than every second. Every time in just a slightly different place (it all would be within the size of area visually ocuppied by the Pleiades, for comparison) and not in a perfect rhythm. I thought it might be my eye twitching between the blinks that makes it appear in different places, but it moved a bit more than that. It lasted about 5 seconds, then after the last flash it shined just a little longer and I could see it move rather quickly just for a very short moment as it then dimmed and disappeared. It almost seemed as if it wanted to catch my attention: )
And the next night I was doing the same things, in the same position around the same time, and the light came up again in more or less the same area in the sky. The only difference was that I didn't see it move off after it was done blinking.
Has anyone exerienced or heard of anything similar?
