Bright intense light awoke us at 2:00 am in Little Rock; 1980

This happened quite awhile ago...  my girlfriend and I were awakened by an extremely birght light in our bedroom.  It was about 2 am.  There was no sound, the weather was calm and clear.  It was strange because we both woke up at the same time.  The light was coming from above the house.  It was like a tungston light, not moving and not varying in intensity.   Just incredibly bright.  After about 10 seconds or so, it was off.  There was no aircraft noise or helicopter sounds.
The next morning I called the Little Rock police to see if their was any activity in our neighborhood,  They said it was quiet and nothing had been reported.   I also called the utilites to see if a transfomer had blown or something.  Again, nothing unusual and nothing reported.  It was just strange.   We didn't feel abducted or anything... just woke up to this bright,bright light.   ((name deleted))
