Just got my head on the pillow when I heard a hissing-crackling sound.
The hissing-crackling sound and the blue-green flickering light at first had me thinking it was an electrical fault....... untill I realised that the light was illuminating everything all the way to the horizon. Still didn't click to what it was 'till I heard the sonic boom some time later which was soo deep it was almost inaudible, but it sure rattled windows. Kinda like very distant thunder.
That was around, '95 or '96 or something.
A similar thing happened in '87-ish, no hissing but a big sonic boom and rattling windows.
About 1990-ish my brother, a mate and myself witnessed a huge daytime bolide that split into two. No sound tho.
