Flash over Thessaloniki (Greece) · Greece

The report, as filed

I saw something strange for the first time in my life in the sky. I am writing this half an hour after it disappeared. I saw a yellow light flashing far away in the sky but not periodically. Sometimes the flash was for one second and sometimes for a little longer (3 seconds maybe but the shape is unkown to me. This was happening for 43 minutes. From 4:00 AM until 4:43 AM. After that it turned white flashing and then never showed up again and five or ten minutes the dawn started. That's all I saw. The yellow flash sometimes moved only a little but mostly it was still in the same spot of the sky. Also, I tried to take a video via my cell phone but nothing is appearing in it because it has no zoom option and because maybe of the street lights and the distance.
