UFO hit by a meteor then crashed into a transformer at a school.

i swear to god guys.....im tellin the truth...i never post but this blew my mind.....ni lightning or thunder since....the flash was so intensely bright it blew me away.....i dunno im baffled lol.....very very strange

I have in the past seen hail storms that start with a single flash of lightning and thunder. It is rare, but does happen. The five second delay is what makes me thing this, as that would be about five miles away.

Maple Ridge here, was thunder.

No doom

Westend?

5 seconds later means it was about a mile away OP.

ok.....4 people on my fb post now report seeing the flash as well....no lightning or thunder to speak of before or since.....i dunno guys

Did it look like this?

out of curiousity, would you mind posting what your friends said exactly? I have some friends in vancouver and one of them has a telescope. he's reporting strange things in the sky...

here's a video my friend just posted from English Bay:



some pretty intense swelling action going on!
