As the subject would suggest, I had a pretty strange experience a few years back.

One night, a friend and I were chatting as we were waking around our neighborhood.

Although it was pretty late (about 11:30 pm) there were other people out walking their dogs so I know we weren't the only people to see it.

Suddenly, the night's sky went completely white for what must have been 20 seconds seconds. It was at least long enough for us to notice, and stop and stare. I live near Los Angeles county so it's never pitch black out here, but it wasn't light exactly. Although the sky was white, the light wasn't "bright", in that it didn't illuminate the area and it wasn't hard to look at (like how a bright light is after you've been in the dark)

After the sky "went black" again, we sort of chuckled and asked each other what we thought happened. The weirdest part is that we weren't really surprised or freaking out or anything. I don't remember if we said anything, but almost immediately someone came up to us and asked us if we saw that.

After we told him that we had, he didn't offer up any explanation or thoughts. He just said it was weird and we agreed before parting ways. We met with no less than 3 other people and had similar interactions; short, awkward interactions to confirm "did I really see that?"

What ended our walk, however, was the last guy we talked to. He, like everyone else, asked us if saw that, but, unlike the rest, had an explanation. Immediately after we said that we had, he said it was power station overload and that he was telling everyone before walking away.

My friend and I both accepted this explanation without question and went to our own homes. It's only now, years later, that I'm remembering this again. I mean, I can't disprove the guys explanation, (Althought the power worked when I got him) but the whole sitation was so strange

Any thoughts?
