I hear that.
Saw somewhere that says it was a transformer lighting up.
Could be due to trash panda, could be trash humans.
Vernon NJ in the 1980’s a transformer substation went down because a trash panda got inside something and became incandescent.
But that was one boom and no flames.
Soooo

Sorry, I just cut-and-pasted based on a headline in a site I trust. Didn’t follow through on the listen.
