Earth shaking explosion followed by bluish green glow on hill above home.

At approxamately 2:00 am on the morning of the 18th of September I was witness to first a house and ground shaking explosion that woke me from a dead sleep and then a bluish green glow that dissapated to nothing in the following seconds after the explosion. The explosion was at least 5 to 10 seconds in durration and I thought a jet aircraft had crashed on the hill above my home. When I ran out the front door and looked towards the source of the sound, there was an erie bluish green glow that I could see towards the top of the hill through the old growth doug firs. It was rather like a neon sign at first and quicly dissapated to nothing in a matter of seconds. No one on my street came out of thier homes and I did not hear any emergency vehicles afterwards. I have yet to talk with my neighbors about the incident and this is my first written account of it.

I am a former contributer and investigator of the OUFOR Oregon UFO Review, wich is now defunct. I guess I'm naturally curious about things like this so I took the time to report this to you their at NUFORC instead of local media.

Thank you for your time! :)
