It's a warm, crystal clear night here. I can see thousands of stars very clearly with the naked eye as we have almost no light pollution. Not a cloud to be seen for miles.
As I was taking the dogs out before bed, I just saw massive white flashes (4) way off illuminating the horizon towards the south. There was no sound whatsoever.
What was it? Lightening very far away?
Probably not related, but also a lot of shooting stars this evening.
