|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I was looking down sweeping and didn’t see the first explosion, just its bright light created sharp shadows. I looked up quickly in shock and saw one or two more bright orange explosions in quick succession. The ones I saw were like boom -BOOM in quick succession. The last one seemed big and was a circle with outward moving rays of light in an even pattern. Maybe another small pop, then the bright orange cloud arcing down and then all dark. |
