When driving on the expressway again a massive flash over the Hallwood estate to my right above again no noise when only being about 500 yrds away from where it looked like it originated in the estate or above. Took left exit for Castlefields then again Large flash but over Halton Brook estate to my left just over the tree's coming down the slipway to the bottom of Boston Avenue. Both commented no noise at any point and little to no cloud cover with large breaks and able to see starlight in between.

hi guys
my wife and I witnessed the very same thing from 12 till 12.30am
We are located in Rotherham.
The cloud cover was broken but the clouds were low.
The event happend around 5 times in 30 mins.
It was a very bright flash followed with subsquent smaller flashes. There was no noise at any time. We did not have rain or thunder that evening.
We also witnessed this around November last year.
I think it made the local paper?
regards T

I witnessed the very same thing in The Glen, Palacefields on the same night. Just before going to bed I stepped outside into the back garden to have a cigarette and there was a very bright flash. It shocked me – I thought someone was taking my photo but the flash felt as though it was just above my head. Then there was another flash but like you said, no cloud, no noise and no thunder or rain. It really freaked me out and I started to think it could be something alien! I very was very frightened and as I lay in bed trying to get to sleep it happened 6 more times. No explanation and Ive never witnessed anything like it before. I put it down to lightening just so I could put it out of my mind and try to get some sleep.
Regards
Sam
