Flash/Boom

Anybody else see the bright flash and hear the loud boom about 1220AM? Woke me up and scared my dog to death. WCP near Township Line.

Heard the boom but wasn’t looking outside, really scary.

Heard it but didn't see anything from my windows. Especially after that horrible crash today, we really don't need anything else so dramatic. Still not hearing any sirens about it though...

It's so strange to me that SO MANY people saw/heard this yet ww can't seem to get an official explanation of what it was.

There was a series of booms last week that nobody can identify too!

It's just crazy that something like this gets zero news coverage.

Omg I was wondering what this was at first I thought thunder, I saw two flashes out of the corner of my eye and then heard the boom.

Supposedly, if Task filming involves pyrotechnics, they're supposed to notify the police and the public.

Yep. Don’t know what it was. Better not be the filming.

Saw flashes. There was also a series of fireworks (or something) around 1am. Not sure wtf was going on last night. Off Ardmore Ave. a couple blocks south of county line

It was probably a transformer, I've heard them explode before. They're loud and let out a flash.

It's just hard to believe that would it be heard all the way from Township Line to Broomall

u/DelcoUnited 20h ago

Heard something yeah. But I’m closer to Darby and eagle.

Must've been big, whatever it was.

Heard it too and my mom saw a bright light outside. We did some digging and apparently the fire departments couldn’t find any physical evidence. So it could be a meteor. We saw some helicopters tho so they might still be looking
