Remarks
The sound was like when you go see a professional fireworks display and you hear the boom of the fireworks as are gearing up to explode. I think it was like a second after we witnessed the ball of light in the sky.

It was a ball of light from Red to White and it looked like one of the balls that come out of a Roman Candle fireworks. I thought it was a falling star.
