I have been seeing tiny, bright white flashes out of the corner of my eye sometimes, but haven't noticed anything in the sky.

welcome to the club. you are probably going to see them when you look at the sky too.

Now the unfortunate answer. The retina exists of nerve cell endings. Any times any one of them fires the brain picks it up. As neurons go, they regularly fire even if they're not seeing anything. The brain still tries to make sense of this, and connects the random firing into something that seems like organic movements. But it's only organic because your brain is. This is then filtered out from your perception. However, under the right circumstances you can see this effect. It works best when you're looking at something brightly but equally lit. So the blue sky is excellent, but a well lit wall would do it too.

Something similar occurs when you close your eyes and put something dark over your eyes to lock out any and all light. You can't see anything. But after a while you start to see movements, patterns, flashes of light. This is the same effect but generated in your visual cortex so it looks very different.

when you too see them, youll see that it is nothing like that.
