There was about 4 of them and they were not lightning, as it was WAY too bright for lightning not to hear thunder, radar and lightning tracker are both quiet
HI RIVERGIRL!!!!! I came in JUST before then and my camera was facing east, bummer, I hope you're well!! Leonids meteor shower was in the ENE sky around that time and Alpha Centaurids was in the SE at the same time so there is 2 active showers at moment. Star Walk on my iPhone has become one of my fav apps. It's fantastic.

I was watching tv and at about 12.30 to 1.00 am I caught two flashes about 40 seconds apart out of the corner of my eye at the front of the house which faces east. I checked the radar to see if it was lightning but didn't see anything after that. I thought it was really weird.
