NUFORC Sighting 128370

Occurred: 2016-07-07 00:40 Local
Reported: 2016-07-08 19:19 Pacific
Duration: 1 minute (maybe more)

Location: Alameda, CA, USA

Shape: Unknown

Saw green flashing or lightning twice in a minute. I woke up and saw 2 flashes.

I was sleeping and I woke up at the exact moment I saw green lightning (or a green flash) coming from the bay window over my head. I was startled because I had seen this same EXACT thing last year. It was green flashing or lightning.

I waited for maybe 10 seconds... wide away at this point and saw it again, clear as day... bright green flashing, with a hot white center. It seemed to be right over Alameda...or even my house.

I have waited a day for any news of power outages (down transformers that could've blown... no storms at all though). I have tried to find news of meteor showers in the area, and no info is available. It's just an eerie mystery and it has me perplexed. Also, it was silent..... both times (and my window is open for a breeze)
