This happened during a lightning storm and the object and light occurred underneath the cloud barrier. It seemed to me like ball lightning or some strange natural phenomenon, however I have never seen something that hue before in the sky. It was turquoise green. it was disk-like or spherical in nature and it was fast as Hell.

Remarks
After the bright glowing object made its way across the sky heading due north, it lit up in a bright flash and then dissapeared. It seemed very fast, almost lightning like.
