Bright Burst or Flashing Light and UFO

Among the countless sightings reported across the globe, a recurring, distinctive element appears—a sudden, bright burst or flashing light. Such luminous displays, regardless of geographic location or cultural context, seem to be a common thread among many UFO reports. This compilation brings together several such events, underscoring this radiant phenomenon.

• The Phoenix Lights (1997) In Phoenix, Arizona, USA, on the evening of March 13, 1997, strange lights were seen in the sky. Some witnesses described a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” preceding the formation’s appearance or during the observation of stationary lights.
• The Rendlesham Forest Incident (1980) In Suffolk, England, military personnel observed strange lights in Rendlesham Forest. As they ventured into the woods, they encountered a luminous object emitting a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light.” This radiant display accompanied the UFO’s rapid movements.
• Tehran UFO Incident (1976) In Tehran, Iran, Iranian fighter jets encountered a mysterious flying object. As they approached, a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” emitted from the UFO, causing jet malfunctions.
• Colares UFO Flap (1977) On Colares Island, Brazil, residents reported strange aerial phenomena. Many sightings described the UFOs bursting into a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light,” particularly when approached or departing.
• O’Hare Airport UFO Sighting (2006) At O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois, USA, employees reported a saucer-shaped craft hovering over a gate. It was marked by a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” as it ascended quickly into the sky.
• Aguadilla Airport Incident (2013) Near Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, a thermal imaging camera captured a fast-moving UFO. The object emitted what seemed like a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” before diving and splitting into two entities.
• Kaikoura Lights (1978) In Kaikoura, New Zealand, ground witnesses and aircraft pilots reported bright orb-like lights. A recurring feature was a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” from these objects, especially during changes in speed or direction.
• Belgian UFO Wave (1989-1990) In Belgium, a series of UFO sightings captured national attention. Multiple witnesses reported triangular craft with lights at each corner. On a few occasions, a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” was noted as the object shifted directions or when it hovered in place momentarily before speeding off.
• Santiago Airbase Encounter (1978)Near Santiago, Chile, air force personnel reported observing a spherical object in the sky during a routine patrol. As two fighter jets approached for a closer look, the UFO emitted a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” and vanished from sight, leaving the pilots perplexed.
• Nova Scotia Incident (1967) In Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, locals observed a series of lights descending towards the water’s surface. Witnesses from various points of observation detailed a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” right before the object seemed to partially submerge in the water, leading to speculations about an underwater base or craft with aquatic capabilities.
• Nevada Desert Sighting (2004) In a remote part of the Nevada desert, a group of campers reported an elliptical object hovering in the night sky. The object remained stationary for several minutes. As one camper attempted to signal it with a flashlight, it responded with a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” and darted upwards at a speed they described as “unimaginable.”
• Tokyo Expressway Encounter (1991) Driving on an expressway in Tokyo, Japan, multiple motorists pulled over to observe a cylindrical object hovering over the city. It displayed a pattern of lights that danced along its length. As helicopters approached, it emitted a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” and rapidly ascended, disappearing from sight.
• Oslo Night Watch (1982) In Norway’s capital, a security officer on night duty observed an elongated object hovering above the city skyline. As he trained his binoculars on it, the object exhibited a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” before silently gliding away at a high speed.
• Mexican Air Force Incident (2004) While on a routine patrol, a squadron of Mexican Air Force pilots detected an unusual blip on their radar. When visual contact was established, the pilots saw a series of orb-like formations. At one point, a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” was seen emanating from the centermost orb before the entire formation dispersed.
• Himalayan Mountain Sightings (1998) Trekking groups in the Himalayas reported a consistent pattern of luminous objects flying across the mountain ranges during nighttime. On a particular evening, a craft reportedly hovered in place, releasing a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light,” which illuminated a vast portion of the mountain side, casting eerie shadows.
• Brazilian Beach Enigma (2010) Vacationers on a secluded beach in Brazil reported a disk-like object skimming the water’s surface. The craft seemingly reacted to the crowd’s attention and emitted a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light”, momentarily turning night into day on that stretch of the beach.
• Scottish Highlands Event (1994) Hikers in the Scottish Highlands reported a triangular object silently floating over a valley. The craft had pulsating lights at its vertices, and at its center, it emitted a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” before ascending vertically at a high speed.
• 2011 Jerusalem UFO Incident In late January 2011, a light was seen descending over the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. Multiple videos captured the event, showing the light hovering over the landmark. After a short while, the object emitted a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” and rapidly shot upwards out of view.

The recurrent theme of a “Bright Burst or Flashing Light” across varied UFO incidents is intriguing. One might speculate that such bursts are a form of communication or perhaps a byproduct of the propulsion system of these mysterious craft. The consistency of this phenomenon in different geographies and decades suggests that it is not a mere coincidence or a result of collective imagination. It might also indicate some form of energy discharge, like a sonic boom in aircraft. Additionally, it could be an inadvertent display caused by the rapid acceleration or deceleration of these crafts, especially if they employ a propulsion mechanism unfamiliar to current human understanding. The brightness and suddenness of the flash might also be a defensive mechanism, designed to startle or deter any potential threats.
