Bright light and big explosion in Tempe,AZ

I am right on the Tempe Scottsdale boarder and about 20 mins ago there was a huge white flash of light followed about 5 seconds later by a huge explosion. Then my Internet goes out. First I called my provider and it was busy and said they had lost service in the area, so I called the Tempe police dept to see if they knew anything and not a single person in Tempe or Mesa has apparently called in a single report. Please tell me I'm not crazy. If anyone saw this or has called it in I would like to hear from you. Thank you.

My first thought would be...

isolated Lightning?

could that be it?
be safe..

It's a clear sky and it came from the ground. That was my first thought too

Also I'm not the only one my neighbors and my boyfriend all saw and heard this. I'm posting from my phone so please excuse any errors

Could be a transformer.

That's what I thought at first but living in AZ I've seen and heard a lot of transformers explode and this was too deep it almost was like a really low thunder rumble but still really loud

I just would like to know if anyone else in the area heard or saw this

Keep us posted. Stay safe. I hope someone else can tell us if they heard and saw it too.

EMP explosion possible but that would of knocked out your power too so im stumped.

Are you anywhere near the storms - I don't know I'm not American but it sounds like they're having it really bad right now.

I will the scariest thing is I called two police departments and they both said that they didn't receive any reports. Which to me is really odd considering the shear size of the light and the explosion.

No not anywhere near the storms. It's very clear here.

Hmm, google it and see if someone posted it on a another forum thread. You never know.

Haha I did and my link to this thread was the first to pop up

I'm still new on ATS and it won't let me repost to any other forum because I haven't posted over 20 threads

Hi there, just had a thought: there are a TON of sci-tech/ computer/weapons/satellite/military r&d places scattered ALL over Tempe, Scottsdale, and especially Chandler (Orbital,Boeing, McDonell-Douglass, Rayethon,TRW, etc.

Maybe a little R&D project failed spectacularly?

Dutch Sinse is talking about something being switched on in Washington DC/Richmond area:

That does make a lot of a sense but wouldn't there have still been some calls? The biggest thing that scares me is the police departments that say no one else has called it in. How do u not call in a huge explosion.

Thanks for the link. Good god! Why the hell does DC need a force field from the weather?!
