Flash and Boom Recorded in Cleveland Ohio, 3/28/18

A Cleveland resident posted an unexplained flash that was followed by a delayed boom on his YouTube channel. One of the video’s viewer comment noted that the delay of the boom after the flash is likely because it was about 8 miles away hence the delay of about 8 seconds before the sound was heard.

ctalj3 says: “The Boom a few seconds after the flash on the camera doesn’t do the actual boom any justice. The house as well as the whole neighborhood rattled.”

The event was reported to the American Meteor Society (AMS Event 1245-2018)

Start watching from around the 20 second mark and be sure to wait a bit after the flash to hear the boom sound (about 8 seconds after the flash).
