Funny, but I always thought I was seeing a couple of atoms smashing or something.

I was going to suggest this as a possibility, or more precisely, a sub-atomic particle smashing into something. Brief sparks from such events are visible to the naked eye, as has been shown in experiments, because they do produce THAT much energy (which is pretty mind-boggling). I don't know what the likelihood of seeing such an event in nature should be, but it must have happened to someone at sometime (if not fairly regularly).

I remember once, many years ago, seeing something that freaked me out.
It was maybe about 2:30 AM and I was driving South on a street in the border city of El Paso so naturally I was able to see Mexico off at a distance. I was heading home when all of a sudden the entire sky just lit up for a split second. Seems like most of the brightness occurred right over Juarez Mexico but there was still enough light for me to see the hood of my car for that brief split of a second. I think the light had a slight light green tinge to it as well.

This sounds like either a lightning phenomenon (you don't need rain or even clouds in an area for lightning - and lightning bolts can arc hundreds of miles, even from well over the horizon to strike areas that are clear), or it could have been a largish meteor exploding in the atmosphere. Big meteors exploding in the atmosphere at night can light up entire regions.

Did it look something like this or like this? Those are meteors exploding at night.

I have this all the time and have been diagnosed with Cataracts.You really should go see a eye doctor and find out whats going on for sure with your eyes.

I know exactly what you are talking about! I see these small intense flashes of light pretty often. I've had them for as long as I can remember. They increase when there is a lot of spiritual activity going on i've noticed.

I noticed I had this as well some 4 years ago, when I was having an epiphany of sorts in my overall understanding of life etc. I use to see this phenomenon as well with the sparkles in my vision especially when looking at white marker boards and clear blue skies. One day I decided to meditate on this sparkles of light and didn't blink ect and just stared in the blue sky above for 45 minutes and then the light sparkles morphed into a pulsing of purple light and violet light in the sky which made think I was seeing the earth's magnetic field etc. It was intense feeling. But soon as I stopped it was just light sparkles again

I'm in the computer field as well. I've seen these little spark/flashes since childhood even before I got into the field.....so I don't think it's related. Or is it? Maybe the computers are talking to us (joke). Curiously strange nonetheless.

It seem like I've been seeing them a lot more lately. And by "seeing" I don't mean visually either. It happens mostly when my eyes are closed but also happens with eyes open. I've been seeing blueish sparks too.

I feel like some of the replies here accurately describe the effect and some do not. This little flash is by no means a show stopping lightning bolt flash of light in the sky or out of body experience or anything like that. Imaging looking up at the sky at night and seeing NO stars. Then, you just see 1 star blink on for a split second, without being bothersome or interrupting what your are doing in the least....that's what it's like for me.

I was researching 'visions of very quick bright flashes' when this website crossed my path and finding it is like coming home!

I live in South Africa and for about 2 weeks now I have been seeing these very fast, very bright flashes in front of my eyes varying from none at all to about 5 times a day during various activities, indoors and outdoors, during different moods. The first time I was not quit sure that it really happened; it was so quick.

On Saturday night last week I was in the kitchen when it happened twice. My daughter (11) came from her room to tell me she saw a very quick very bright flash. At first she did not believe it but then it happened again.

Yesterday we were driving in the car when I saw it again and my husband saw it for the first time. Exactly like us he said that it was so fast that at first he was not even sure it happened.

Please, has anyone experienced this?


I have seen similar.. Once way back in 1997, me and a friend where in his room together, he is very spiritual sort of person, has crystals and the whole lot. It was pretty dark and at one point we saw a spark of light in the air nearby to us and we both definitely saw it... It did seem almost like an atomic collission or something, who knows maybe some energy from a far-out source like a pulsar could cause this to happen occasionally ?

Pretty perculiar though. There is a second time where i had a similar experience years later indoors.. Very quick like a camera flash. I don't know if it's an illusion in my eye, I know if I'm seeing something and there are shadows and i have a good idea of what the illusion of it looks like and have ruled that out.

So you all, are not alone!!

Thanks for posting.

The interesting thing is that none of us 3 have seen it for about at least 3 weeks now. And then just yesterday my daughter and I saw it again together.

For me this cannot be a physical condition as the chances of my daughter and I seeing it at the exact same time after a long period of nothing is very remote.

We remain baffled, but not alone!

There is always this, but unless you are an astronaut I'd rule it out.
