i know they see me shining my light into the tress smiling ear to ear. i figure they think im nuts and i dont care
maybe you should have a crime watchers party. get em all into lightsMy neighbors love it. We border a park and a golf course and every since me and my flashlight obcession moved in crime and vandalism in that park have dropped to almost nothing.
I did get one police call where an elderly lady said that "someone was in her yard shining lights in her window". When the police got there they saw a light shining across the park and came to my place to investigate.
I was in my back yard testing out a 20watt HID light (I'm guessing about 1200 lumens biased towards throw).
Apparently at a distance of somewhere around 500 yards away that was still enough light to make the lady believe someone was in her yard "peeping" at her so I don't shine anything in that direction anymore.
The cops were just fascinated by the lights I had on hand and probably stayed for half an hour until they got a call and had to go.

Yea my mum thinks im crazy, dad thinks im crazy but is amazed by some of my lightsI do this all the time. I like seeing the beams in the sky. My parents think I'm nuts, neighbors probably do too.
I live out in the country on a small mountain. One time some neighbors were over visiting and they were all abuzz about the UFOs and strange lights in the sky the previous night. They wanted to know if I had seen them. Best I can tell, it was me shining a very throwy light up into the low clouds and playing with some other lights of mine that night. I just said, well no, I hadn't. I didn't want to burst their bubble since they were so excited.

I laughed so hard I actually snorted!

LOL
I would say I saw the lights in the sky almost every night...and had seen a pattern as to what days and times I saw them...and tell them when you next expected to see them.
And then they would see them then...and be very excited.
Rinse/Repeat.
Why does this remind me of a movie. The one where the religious cult freaks out because their hippie neighbors start playing trumpet music from these huge PA speakers making the cultists thing it's judgement day...I can't remember the name.
Anyway if they were my neighbors I'm not sure I could resist making some UFO cutouts and stuff to shine on the clouds.
Hmm......Halloween is coming up in a few weeks, isn't it? :devil:
