lots of flashes in the sky

Any1 seen it

Don't do it, grammar kids.

It's a trap.

I haven't heard it here in Padiham !!!

Look in the sky. Its flashing mental. No sound

The sky is darkening as we draw closer to the shortest day.

Just seen a video from Blackpool - never seen anything like it.

Never seen it like that b4. Right above lowerhouse cricket club

It will either rain or go dark before morning !

I've been outside looking at it it's the strangest thing .Over 30 minutes none stop.

Its like.somebodys watchin a TV in my garden with my blinds closed

Or a film about Aliens

Yep, happening above me on the Wirral.

Been outside to have a look. Incessant and quite spectacular at times.

Looking to west just counted 37 strikes in 60seconds. Never seen anything like it!! Hope it stays out there!!

Quiet diet ???

Bizarre. Eerily silent with continuous flashes of lightening. Would not like to be in a plane up there tonight!

Loads of flashes in Cheshire tonight - no sound.
Weird.

It will be the Heat..... not sure about the big round silver thing landing on kelbrook roundabout though ffs!

It’s not the lightening we want to be worrying about... walking down brunshaw earlier and looks like we have guests!

They've probably come to return Glenn Miller

This is quite catagorically a visit from the inhabitants, or what’s left of them, of Metaluna. They have come here to try and seal the transfer of one of their mutants, a certain Troy Deeney, to Burnley. But don’t worry, Sean Dyche has built an interocitor and has the situation monitored.

Just said on BBC Breakfast that there was silent thunder Explained as lightning without the bang.

6 hour light show here. Started around 7.30 pm, dry all the way through 'til 1.30 am then it absolutely threw it down. Interesting photo above. I was sat in the garden last weekend. Was just gazing at the clear blue sky and suddenly 5 or 6 objects in close proximity to each other at a great height just appeared. There was a plane flying overhead at the time so could gauge some sort of height perspective. They must have been a good few thousand feet up. My wife saw them too. We thought they were hot air balloons at first, until one changed direction and flew off at high speed in the opposite direction. The others remained completely still. Suddenly they all just disappeared.

No need to worry about that, it is the hole Gifton's penalty created.

When I first moved to Virginia I came across the phenomenon ThunderSnow! I have no idea how it happens, but it was snowing and thundering and lightening at the same time. Never saw it in Florida , Kentucky , or since in New Mexico.

It wasn't Silent at 3am over here woke me up banging and crashing and flashing for about 3/4 of an hour and torrential rain.

It was going for hours last night (in Fleetwood).

Initially I went to check the house alarm as I though it was that flashing blue outside
It looked great though

Just out of interest, have all the people who saw the magical lightning been struck blind, and some of them killed by giant, walking plants?

At last someone else has noticed Wellsy's deliberate mistake

There was invisible thunder all night where I live.

Lightning is always silent.

The noisy bit is thunder.

But, thunder IS the sound of lightening.

All very mysterious!

Sort of makes us look small and insignificant, almost as through Earth is just an Island

Noisy lightning tonight. The maps quite good if you can get it to work.

We have almost silent lightening here tonight towards the west .... very distant rumblings occasionally .....

Sky was a dirty green colour yesterday evening. Just distant rumblings and the odd flash. Must have poured down overnight though. We have one particular Chrysanthemum that is a thirsty bugger. Expected to find that wilting this morning but it was fully watered. That plant has an identity crisis btw. We have three. Two are in bushy and in full bloom. This one has no buds or blooms and is actually creeping across the fence like a climbing plant.
