I live on Queena Blvd facing the Courthouse a dozen floors up and was sitting on my couch and could see my windows that face the Courthouse, VanWyck and Briarwood. The sky in Briarwood flashed a quick dome of orange. Def not a firework or a gun shot. Didn’t match either of those at all. My first thought was a gas leak explosion or math lab. 🤷🏻♂️
I saw from my window an orange circular thing. Looked like it was falling down not going up like a firework would.
It happened again not as loud tho
Heard that behind Molloy
