They 2 events don't seem to be the same event given the difference in colour, bit atleast you have a working theory.
I haven't seen these blue flashes for at least a year at this stage.

A much more likely explanation has come forward now. www.ufoballoons.co.uk/
There is some agreement that is it is well set-up hoax, someone having a laugh.

Over the past 2 weeks, I and others in the club have put in over 15 hours of observing and have not seen any of these blue flashes, seems like they are gone.

last night I was out observing and I was craning my neck back and
I could see sort of flashes every second or so then they would stop.
At first I thought it was the light from the tower at Shannon but this was different.
I realized after a while it was my own pulse.
OK so this may sound stupid but maybe its not something 'out-there'
thats causing people to see flashes...
maybe its something in our eyes.
Just a thought anyway...

Certainly a very interesting possibility. Hadn't considered that before.
