| Remarks | I heard a load boom that shook the ground like thunder. It sounded like thunder though more succinct as though it were a bomb exploding. The sound lasted 2-3 seconds. I heard only one boom, maybe two that were very close together. Again, it sounded like thunder. I heard this roughly 10-15 minutes after the lights. |
