Cody and i often watch bullet flight at night. If you stand correctly with a spot light behind the shooter you will often see the bullet flight. We were showing some guys this on Saturdays hunt.
here are some pics of a .22 in mid flight, Samsung phone.

In my very first pistol shooting match, one of the RO's asked what my loads were - he claimed to see my bullets travelling in broad daylight. The loads were quite light because I had only started reloading. If memory serves correct it was 135gr LCN with a middle-of-the-batch load of powder.

When shooting with a spotlight at night, the light reflected back from the base of a flat-based bullet, can often be seen with the naked eye.  Much like a tracer bullet.

I have also observed light reflected off the base of a handgun bullet, when shooting with the sun behind you. You won't easily see your own bullets, but an RO or SO standing beside you can see it.

Video of wild boar being shot. Some amazing bullet traces.
