Observation Notes:
Witnessed 5-6 sync and flash syncronized for about 30 seconds
This is the 2-3 time this summer I've witnessed them flash in-sync the first time I wasnt sure if I saw it right or not.
Also watched one hold it's light on very dim and keep it on. Possibly a birth defect, I don't know. It would still flash brightly.
