In this work we report on Light Flashes (LF) observations performed on board Mir space station in the years 1995-1999 with the SilEye-1 and -2 experiments. LF were originally predicted by Tobias in 1952 and observed for the first time on Ap ollo 11 mission; subsequently there were studied on Ap ollo, Skylab, and Ap ollo-Soyuz missions. LF consist of visual sensations in the eye by sub jects exposed to high energy particles. A number of dedicated observations in space and on ground accelerators have provided a wealth of data which due to the elusive and sub jective nature of this effect could not provide a clear answer to this phenomenon. A total of 18 hours of observation in 19 sessions resulted in the observation of 145 LF. LF rate is significantly lower than what observed in previous experiments but consistent with an increased shielding (geomagnetical and hull) of Mir; in addition there is evidence of a reduction of LF observation with time of permanence in Space.
