Reports Report 4759bt (Event 4759-2024)

| Name | Jeremiah S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This same thing happened a few months ago but I assumed it was a Transformer blowing. Same colors and sound just further away. This could also be a coincidence but me and my family have heard very similar "booms" on at least 3 separate occasions over the past few months. Nothing else was witnessed, only the sounds. If I can make a suggestion, I stumbled on your website by accident if more people knew about reporting this I think it would really help. Maybe a little bit more local Outreach. I'll be sure to share this on social media. I know one of my friends has camera footage from tonight. |
