has anyone else seen this above Thurso? I saw it twice tonight and a couple of nights ago too, around 6 both nights. Its like an electric flash for a split second and don't think it could be lightning

Seen blue flashes three times in three nights. Each flash followed by a brief power cut. Blame geese or swans flying into wires. Saw over 40 Whooper Swans in a field near West Greenland yesterday. Rarely seen so many in one place.

I'll back you up on that. The dog woke me up in the early hours, and there was some spectacular stuff going on.

Flew in to wick airport last night 840ish
The pilot told us that there was a lot of hail and snow clouds out at sea on our approach.
This suggests that the flashes were more than likely lightning.
