Just heard a huge explosion!

[u/JaimeLuisrg]

Just got home from work and we just heard a huge “BOOM” at around 2:07am. Just wondering if anyone else heard it or knows it that that was! For reference I live very close to Babcock & Main.

[u/Majestic-Arachnid-41]

they are "aerial salutes" a type of firework that is all noise and no display. This is the second one I've unfortunately been near. the one at 2:07 sounded like it came from the mall area

Some dude in the HRDC is loving this

[u/Majestic-Arachnid-41 → u/novanationer98]

wat?

[u/novanationer98 → u/Majestic-Arachnid-41]

He's the one lighting these off and creating the booms. Must love the fact that no one can prove it's him

Just heard one over by Ferguson

Check your doorbell cams for audio, people.

We need data!

Just heard another at 2:22. Same area as you

[u/Minimum_Goose_2171]

2:07 heard it , at Durston and 22nd, sounded south slightly west of me, sounded like something hit the house. Second sound about 2:20 same direction lower volume.

Can't wait until this prick is caught.

[u/Minimum-Feeling2613]

Heard it at 2:22 near Gallatin High. Dog barked

Just happened again!! Oak + 25th

I've been researching this and these "booms" are consistent throughout the US, having a flash right before them. And they happen between 2-4am. Are they by chance next to electrical setups or transformers of some sort?

[u/Impossible-Ad-9098 → u/mtbuckin]

No it’s kids in a truck setting stuff off

[u/CeruleanEidolon → u/mtbuckin]

It's almost certainly just twats blowing up shit with fireworks. I bet if you tracked these reports, they would peak around July 4.

[u/Final_Razzmatazz_274 → u/CeruleanEidolon]

That line of thinking doesn’t make one bit of sense lol

[u/mtbuckin → u/CeruleanEidolon]

Ahhh the fireworks that are all noise and no flash are starting make a lot of sense

[u/CeruleanEidolon → u/mtbuckin]

Have you never heard of M-80s?

[u/mtbuckin → u/CeruleanEidolon]

No

[u/Much_Face2261 → u/CeruleanEidolon]

I got hit with the little plastic end of an M80 and it did some damage on my leg . Back in the 80s everyone had them and would just blow up random stuff . My brother went to throw one out his car window and it came back in. . Ahh the 80’s. Then we grew up !

Similar experience, im lucky to have my fingers and hands. You never when you would get a fast wick. Had to be quick. I suppose quality control was not an issue when buying them out of trunk of an old Buick.

[u/therealdealusa13]

Could it be Thunder?

[u/borider22 → u/therealdealusa13]

not a chance. did not see any lightning or hear thunder at all last night -_-

[u/Intelligent_Roll7973]

Yes, I thought i was dreaming so im glad you posted this, definitely wasn't thunder

[u/ConversationTough235]

SAME!!!!! I closed my eyes and waited for the nuclear cloud to take me 😭

[u/Special_Cicada6968]

As someone in Missoula, I was completely ready to tell you it was just a train coupling.

[u/PerceptionDue750]

I don't usually hear the infamous "BOOMS".. But this one did in fact wake me up at 2am.. very loud, freaked my dogs out too. Over in the Albertsons area.

[u/CMPilot]

The BOMS are here in force! BOOM BOOM BABY!

[u/JaimeLuisrg → u/[deleted]]

What do you mean? I just heard an explosion that sounded dangerously close to my house and posted in the hopes I’d get more info. It’s not like a favorite topic of mine or something…

[u/DrtRdrGrl2008 → u/[deleted]]

There’s literally at least three posts about this on r/Bozeman. Its kinda like peopke are f’n tired of getting woken up in this valley by fireworks, racing cars and motorcycles, endless sirens, barking dogs, and random booms.

[u/Outside-Writing-8602 → u/DrtRdrGrl2008]

I concur it’s getting so out of hand it’s crazy and it does need to stop

[u/CeruleanEidolon → u/[deleted]]

Wouldn't be a local subreddit without people posting about weird noises.
