Some kind of weapons testing maybe?
This is truly one of the strangest things that has ever happened to me, and I feel a bit lost.

Just wanted to add that this also happened to my step father last week. Saw a bright flash of light then went blind for approx 15min.
Pretty sure it's unrelated to the OP's experience as it was a differnet day and they live in NS Canada. But could possibly be the same tech that caused it.
He does work under LED lights quite a bit but unsure if there is a connection or not.
Interesting none the less

DId your step father seek medical attention? I know that if I experienced blindness for any length of time, I would be in the ER ASAP.
I continue to be amazed by the responses here. While it is interesting to read the different theories, and learn about the different technologies out there, I have to ask myself this: If someone came up to me and said; "I just saw two bright flashes of light, was temporarily blind and now I have a headache, nausea and my eyes won't adjust right!" I would be thinking that this person has suffered an anyeurism and is now experiencing the progessive physical affects of intracranial pressure. They need emergency medical attention!!! You know, sometimes the most obvious, less radical explanation is the most accurate.
If anyone ever experiences these symptoms, please don't spend too much time speulating what it may be. Seek medical care.
The OP has not been around since their last post describing the progressive symptoms. I really hope they are okay. If you are still reading the thread, please let us know you are okay!
