Question

This has been going on for the last 15 minutes from when i noticed. There is no thunder with it. If its not lightening what is it? It is very bright and i dont see any actual streaks.. just huge balls of lights in the exact same area over and over again. Someone please tell me what it is

Answer 1

it's called heat lightning. though it does not hit the ground, it arks from cloud to cloud, its usually an orangy yellow color. nothing to freak about, and there's no thunder because it doest hit the ground, no impact sound, google it for more info!

Answer 2

it could be an electric storm. there's no thunder to go along with that type of lightning. or something else, like aliens! haha. that would be cool! if they were not hostile ofcoarse! :)

Answer 3

What you describe appears to be a distant storm, where you can see the lightning, but are too far away to hear the thunder!

Have seen this phenomenon many times myself. Awesome!
