Thank you Sotos. I would love to see a meteor shower but apparently meteor showers end on August 24th in Cyprus. I saw this in September.

Might not have a military aspect. Could be Maritime Search and Rescue as well.

Were did you see this?


Thank you. It was just outside of Protaras. So not near a base that I’m aware of. But the bizarre thing is that they were only visible where the moon was. Surely, flares, missiles, rockets etc would not be only seen in just one place (although I am definitely not an expert in military excercises)

Both nights, exactly the same place :o

That is brilliant, thank you for the link Paphitis :D the flashes were positioned low in the sky so this is the most likely explanation for it. Thanks again.. you’re a.... STAR :D

You can just scroll up and down on the picture and also from left to right.
