Dozens of people have taken to social media after a strange loud noise was heard rumbling across Bristol.
The sound - which was similar to thunder but longer - happened shortly before 9:25pm this evening (Friday). Some people also reported seeing 'a massive orange explosion'.
It was heard in Ashton, Ashely Down, Bishopsworth and St George, but no one is able to explain where is came from.

One person wrote on Twitter: "Did anyone hear a long rumbling noise just now in South Bristol?
"Apparently fireworks near Ashton Court? Didn’t sound like fireworks."
Another said: "Yes we were wondering what it was. The nearest thunderstorm is in Devon so it's not that. Sounded different to fireworks."
Someone else wrote: "What was that loud banging noise?"
To this another person replied: "I saw the hills around Ashton Court engulfed in a massive orange explosion. I thought it was fireworks but I've never seen anything like it before."
