The phenomenon occurred on a Friday night late at 10:22 p.m., resulting in a loud noise that shook houses and lit up the sky, leaving neighbors scratching their heads trying to figure out what had happened.
One resident, Jon Jong, described the sound as feeling like a truck had hit his house, while another neighbor reported a similar experience, leading them both to investigate the strange occurrence without finding any evidence or explanation.
