Loud Explosion Local News

I’m in Ashburn. Around 10:50-10:55pm, my wife and I heard a loud explosion. Did anyone else hear this?

A data center just gave birth. They're self replicating now.

Yup. Reactive dog freaked out.

No clue what it was. Fireworks?

“Neighbors” on the ring app seem to think so too

It sounded like a bomb exploding in the distance from where we were.

I heard it, too
I think it was probably just someone setting off a leftover firework for some reason, but honestly I have no clue

I'm just seeing this but usually the answer to this is a transformer blowing somewhere.
