| Remarks | I heard one earth shaking boom a few seconds after I saw the light. I was thinking, was that a bottle rocket? Must have been a dud because it had no ending fire cracker and no scream whistle with it... and as I was considering this BOOM!. It was so loud and shook the ground so hard I steadied my footing and put out my arms to catch my balance. I was surprised no car alarms went off. The sound did not come from the direction the light came from or went, it seemed to have come from the west. |
