General Loud Boom in Mukono Town

Did anyone hear an explosion in Mukono last night, and does anyone know what it was? It was around 12 or 12:30. I was just falling asleep when there was a very loud boom and red light flashed through my curtains. There was no excitement, nobody laughed (as if it were a prank). I could hear my neighbors talking, but they didn’t seem as if anything was out of the ordinary.

Thank you for checking. Everyone in my compound heard it, but nobody knows what it was. Someone suggested a tire blew on Kayunga road, but nobody knows for sure.

Tried checking everywhere, doesn't seem like anyone else heard it.

Hahaha! That would be cool. No smoking craters, though. Too bad.
