| | | Bright Blue Flashes In Our Skies
Last night around 7.30pm a Blue Flash appeared In the Sky, It was just like a Camera Flash but was a vivid Blue. Again around 9pm whilst taking out some rubbish a second Blue Flash appeared. Anyone know what this Is, there are No railway lines around this area so I can count that one out. The Flash at 9pm seemed very high, It scared me a likkle bit...  Forgot to say Looking In a South easterly direction. |

Last night at about 7:25pm my b/f watched what he thought could be a shooting star, he was looking in a mortherly direction and said it travelled from east to west and was low down and had a big trail, itwas white in colour. Not really sure what it was. Maybe a satelite? Anyone else see this? |
