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.

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.

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

**zebedy** · 03-Mar-08, 17:04

**Max** · 03-Mar-08, 19:20

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!!!

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
