OK, so I was driving tonight, it was dark out and all, and I see this flash of bight blue light that lit up the whole sky, and I swear it was not lighting I didn't hear any thunder. Then I see in two more times in the next minute or so each lasting about 5 seconds. Whats the logical explanation for this, because when I Google it all I get is UFOs. XD
 
When power lines short out during bad weather the arc is very bright and has the 'electric blue' color, so that could be what you saw. A few such arcs will often shut the line down altogether, so they stop.
 
It could be a meteor. I saw something similar a couple of months ago. I wasn't sure what it was either but it was amazing.

I found something that might relate to your "sighting".

Hope that helps.
