South of 466A it seemed to be a different show, pretty much straight out to the East.
It looked to be inter and/or intra cloud lightning, what we used to call "heat lightning". Or, when flying in SEAsia, "Anvil Crawlers". Because it's normally so high up in the clouds, the show can be seen for great distances....much farther than the sound can travel before dissipating. Thus, the appearance of no thunder. And few strikes.
