Yesterday at the dog park I caught a flash of light from the corner if my eye. I looked and found the source but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what was making the flash.

Another walker saw the same thing and we talked about it for a moment before she moved on.

Could it be camera flash? We were a fair distance away and it was still fairly bright. I thought gunshots, but the color seemed wrong and there was no sound (silencer also equals flash suppressor).

The TV or house lights wouldn't flash this bright.

Anywho, what do you guys think?

Whoa, it is really bright. It kind of looks like a bolt of electricity, maybe a transformer?

at 0:16 it appears to be coming from both the upstairs and the downstairs windows. Beats the heck out of me...

There are flashing dots everywhere as well. Do you have lights shining just in front of the camera that's lighting up dust or bugs?   Maybe there's a guy in the house who sees those lights, and he's taking photos of your lights with his flash on.

I'm pretty sure I can see a similar effect in front of the house to the right of the one you pointed to. Is it possibly reflection from the IR distance sensor of your camera off of the snow flakes?

even that far away, if the strobes were turned up all the way it could certainly provide that level of intensity.  i say camera strobe mainly due to the length of flash, intensity, and color temperature

I thought perhaps an alarm but you would hear the sound and see the strobe. I think it has to be a camera flash.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
