Yeah I just spotted this outside my window. I thought it was someone taking pictures with the flash on until it happened again – then I knew it was lightning. No thunder or rain though. It’s bizarre.
Edit:
I wonder if it’s what is known as ‘earthquake lights.’ This occurs around areas of seismic activity, by rocks fracturing which generates voltage that discharges into the air, electrifying the sky and creating light.

You are looking at a distance of 50 to 100km, which makes the sound disperse inversely proportional to the square of 2500-10000km².
And from that kind of distance you need to wait 150 to 300 seconds, which means 2,5 to 5 minutes for the sound to reach you.
PS. The maximum distance at which you can hear lightning strike is approximately 32km in ideal atmospheric conditions.
But you can see thunder from much further away.
At a distance of 50km, unless refracted, an already 110 dB sonic boom becomes 45 dB.
which
* **Examples of 45 dB sounds:**
* A library
* Soft rainfall
* A quiet computer fan or dishwasher
* A quiet room with low background noise
I’ve seen it too. The simplest explanation:
This is normal „sheet lightning“ between or in the clouds. You hear no sound because it is too far away (or very delayed and very subtle because of long distance).
seeing them from gazafana aswell
Do people go so little outside anymore that aren’t aware of the concept of storms far away?
