Extreme weather in Scotland, lightning and objects in the sky

originally posted by: sapien82 what do you think it is ?

Looking at it logically the first thought is a disc? In tilt mode?

From personal experience these motherships and claps of thunder / lightning are in some way for whatever reason closely linked. Just a guess but something to do with the UFOs appearing from another dimension.

I'm going for UFO disc moving into our dimension

I'd say those orange things are an orange street light, out of shot, light reflecting/refracting off a raindrop on the window/lense in front of camera.

It was sad to hear about the train derailment and the deaths it caused.

Here in the 'Shires we had thunder storms for about 3-4 hours last night and they are expected again this afternoon.
I can't really say much about the pic and "UFO" as there's not alot to go on, it could be number of things and I imagine you've gone through that list yourself.

The Stonehaven train crash has several severe injuries and possibly one death and has been declared a 'major incident'.
I lived in Portlethen which is between Aberdeen and Stonehaven for almost 10 years back in the mid '80's - early '90's

Just had a lorry driver in my work telling me that he went to the Findon roundabout as you come into Portlethan and there were six cars floating like boats on the roundabout.

Yeh I think the orange from the side is definitely water and light from a street light and its catching the water
but not sure what the light is in the middle

if I could pause it when the lightning strikes so I can see whats there in the light we could rule it out

a reply to: Kurokage

aye its bloody awful that this happened , apparently the driver came to a halt and a landslide and reversed up the track and was then met with a new landslide which then derailed the train.
Its such a tragedy , but I am glad that although lives were lost and many injured that at least it wasnt the normal busy train to Edinburgh as it could have been a disaster with many lives lost.

sad day for families in Scotland

I believe this storm came out of nowhere I dont think it was noticed or picked up on until it was late

It was predicted since last week. A lot of the weather websites were saying it was coming.

what do you think it is ?

Most likely a bird. The seagulls here (town in Scotland) go nuts during a thunderstorm.

Was hilarious to watch, they fly all over the place and I'm not sure if any were hit but I watched a lightning fork zap right through where a flock of them were seconds before last night.

Loving the weather right now, apart from the leak in my window which is proving an inconvenience when the rain is at max

Well you were right as rain to declare this system as extreme.

I fear storms like this will very soon exponentially increase on all levels.

Simply because that's what time it is.

Clearly a row of house bricks.

I found this for ya OP

Thats just heat lightning

a reply to: Rancidmilk2go

sounds cool and Ive never heard of it
thanks

a reply to: sapien82

I'm noticing that thunderstorms aren't the same as I remember them to be . More frequent flashes and purple pink colors.
As of the booms the don't happen as when I expected them to happen?

I've filmed a horizontal lighting strike hit a midair spot twice In the exact order a second apart, the weather is strange different not what i can remember a decade ago..

In about two hours I will ready up my camera to film an arriving thunderstorm because they are so damn fascinating and mysterious powers..

Great shot

I love thunder and lightning so I look forward to your pictures

a reply to: sapien82

I love watching thunder and lightning.

It was forecast for three days solid where I live......wasn't a drop of rain or the slightest hint of a thunderstorm.

Was looking forward to watching them with my grandson and maybe a cold one or two.
Very disappointed.

Unfortunately never seen a UFO but I would have thought thunderstorms would be the ideal weather conditions for them to go about their business unnoticed.

Well I had my first strange sighting on Saturday afternoon . I wasn’t going to post anything about it until I saw the OP.
I stay on the outskirts of Glasgow , and was cutting down some branches in the back garden.
I looked up and spotted something identical to the thing in that picture . It was a silvery Grey colour and moving very quickly across the sky . If I had to guess , it was about 10000 ft , and moving from North to South above Glasgow .
I was desperately trying to get my phone out of my overall pocket , but had gloves on.
As I watched it ,the object suddenly jinked left , then right and then just disappeared ! I’m so raging I never got a picture .....I hate gardening too

It's a phenomenon known as sheet lightning that occurs in clouds. Monday was the first time I've ever seen it in the UK, I'm used to seeing it in South France and Austrian Alps.

The sheet lightning flashes made no sound (thunder) but the fork lightning (when it strikes the ground) does.

Had huge lightning storm from around 9pm Monday to 6am Tuesday on the Lancs/Cumbria border. There were sheet lightning strikes every couple of seconds as far as the eye could see and fork lightning strikes every minutre or so. Quite a lot of sheep were killed around here as the lightning strikes were hitting the ground then travelling long distances underground and electrocuting anything it touched.

These type of storms usually occur in really hot countries (Southern Europe) - I've never seen anything like it in the UK but it's been 28C at night here for nearly two weeks which is usually a very hot daytime temperature.


EDIT: There's been a lot of US airforce planes from fighter jets to Hercules flying very low from East to Wesr out to sea (No idea of the destination), maybe it's a part of that redeployment?

a reply to: bastion

It's the first time I've heard about sheet lighting, sure looks amazing but never knew the dangers that it could electrocute larger areas underground and kill cattle or other animals?

I do think something's changing or shifting within our climate and nature shows it through our weather, by showing us new kinds of weather phenomena maybe known to other southern countries but not to the northern colder regions of the world..
