[meteorite-list] Light and sound event over North Eastern Pennsylvania 20...

>>The light was so intense I saw it  through my closed eyelids indirectly 
reflected 
off the walls inside  walls.  4-5  seconds later "(flash-to-bang) was a 
huge 
rumbling,  echoing, and persisting  report-- very unlike a normal 
lightening and  
thunder event.  Given we  were in the midst of an intense rain  storm which 
otherwise had no  thunder and lightening, I held off on  making a report .  
 
However in a  conversation with a friend  who was 25-30 miles away, he 
mentioned 
a huge  flash and loud sound  also. I am therefore mentioning it should a 
fireball  have fallen  during a rainstorm and might other-wise go 
unnoticed.>>

It seems to  me that to hear loud sonics  within about 5 seconds after the 
bright lite  appearance, is rather too short of a period to be meteorite 
related. It could be  I guess, but it just seems too short.
