Funny that you say that... I was at the kitchen sink catching a smoke and looking out the window... My neighbor across the street has a mercury vapor light in his back yard (the ones that put out the bright greenish tinted light). His light is mounted about 5-6 ft taller than the roof of his garage... He has older oak trees in his yard that are probably 5-6ft taller than his security light (he had them topped off last year). I could barely make out the tops of his trees in the darkness against the night sky... once it dawned on me that the light I saw was about 15 degrees higher than his tree tops I knew it was way too high to be any street light... I felt immediate fear and got cold chills... I ran outside the front door and still looking at the light. It stayed on for about a second or two of viewing and went out... It then flashed twice on and off, and then stayed on for two seconds and never returned... It had no movement and did not dim as it flashed on and off (it was instantly bright and then instantly off)...
