| Remarks | I actually had my back to it when it first started, It was flashing lights behind me that caught my attention and made me turn around.The trees and snow looked like a helicopter with a spot light was coming from straight behind me. But, when I turned around it was clearly not that. IT flickered a few times like someone was flashing their high beams on there car head lights. |
