The noise was very loud. Like a gun shot. Many people reported to police. You will see in video the extreme speed of the flash of light.
I had also check for possible storm / lightning. None in the area. Analysis of light flash and start of sound being 1.3 seconds after the flash, I estimate source of sound to be approximately 350-400 metres above ground at 17 degrees Celsius and low humidity.
