Heard a loud noise around that time!

[unicorn]

no, but it sounds like a flare.

[Rourkee]

no, but it sounds like a flare.

Flares dont make a noise other than a woosh and a pop. The ones that make the noise are known as Maroons but they dont make a bright light.

[mums angels]

[horse]

[highlander]

I too was up watching the Green Mile and heard the loud bang, never saw the flash of light, but just after it there was a heavy fall of snow, i just put it down to a clap of thunder.

[Rheghead]

It might have been a meteorite, a good find for somebody if they're lucky enough.

[TBH]

Me too - I got up (watching telly in bed) and looked around the house - checked bairns but everything was calm.

Good film though!

[hell raizer]

we heard it to, we thought it was thunder

[zebedy]

yeah i heard it too, i was just dropping off while watching the green mile and saw a bright flash come in my window, followed by that massive rumble!

kack'd myself haha

[Max]

Oh I'm glad I didn't see the flash during that film - I would've switched off I think - and gone under the covers!!!

[rob16d]

not a flaming clue!, was snoring in bed! green? doesn't sound like thunder/lightening to me but then again i'm not an expert, green doesn't sound like meteorite either although dependent on metal content some metals (copper i think) burns with a green flame so maybe a copper rich meteorite? is copper a pure metal or an alloy? i didn't do chemistry!
other than that the alien idea sounds good to me lmao

[rob16d]

Please can someone come up with an explanation...I'm scared?

[unicorn]

Nobody said the flash was green rob, they were watching the green mile :lol:

sorry, just reread the thread, someone mentioned blue though, so yes lightning can be seen as blue, so quite probably thunder and lightning :D yes it does happen and quite often especially when it has been reasonably warm before a sudden cool down which is how it has been lately (in comaprison lol).

[rob16d]

Ok sorry...i'm half asleep!

[young_fishin_neep]

well it certainly never woke me up, but then again i dont think naything would have woken me up last night i was asleep by 9 last night

[Alice in Blunderland]

Okay folks I have the answer it was our very own org super hero Saveman He was travelling like lightening again and broke the speed of sound....:lol:

Someone should have a gentle word with that caped crusader to hang up his cape a little earlier in the evening and not worry his fellow orgers...[lol]

[BRIE]
