Large explosion? NW of Fuerte at sea
Did anyone else witness a large explosion? at sea just before 9pm this evening? Approx NW of me in Tindaya. Only lasted a few seconds but a pinprick of light suddenly grew to a large half sphere on the horizon before disappearing again, whole thing lasted about 3 seconds.

Looking on Marine Traffic there are a few ships in roughly the vicinity.
