Horizontal Blue Lightning flash?

saw the (second) weirdest thing i've ever seen tonight.

MikEms said he saw a blue flame outside, so i went to look, and we waited a minute or so, then there was this blue flash, sort of like a lightning bolt going across from the neighbours yard to right past us (there was a low wall inbetween, but we were semi-outside)... no thunder really, just a little soft 'bang' sparky noise...

a minute or so later there was another blue flash coming from the neighbour house but it didn't come across to us.

both times it was during a strong gust of wind.

and the clouds were pretty low to the ground, some light parts and further away some really really dark clouds in a straight line...

tried to look up some info, but nothing really on lightning that close that doesn't come from the sky.

later on we saw a few more 'flashes' in the sky higher up, no thunder either.

then it started raining, and now we hear a few rumbles of thunder every now and then.

yes my writing might seem a little rushed and 'weird', but i'm still a bit freaked out by the whole thing :P

as for the first weirdest thing i've ever seen, i'll write about that another day ;P

Could it be that you saw ball lightning?

well it wasn't a ball, and ball lightning supposedly hangs around a while, what we saw was there and then gone in an instant.
