I just got off the phone with my mom (no pics) and she was going on and on about an explosion sound coming from near Zilker Park each night around 1:50am. There is someone on the neighborhood boards saying they have driveway cam footage of a streak of fire into the sky. 
 

Aliens or something else? 

It’s an outdoor rave.  The boom is their audio system.  I’m guessing the streak of fire is either fireworks or a laser of some kind.

One would think the Nextdoor Karens would have solved the mystery already.

Nevermore.

Oh, RAVES.

I didn't think so, and levity aside, that's the noises/lights causing the OP to post this.  I live really close to Zilker.  Not as close as his mom, but pretty damn close.  

totally unrelated post---anybody have an extra glowstix?

Was it an explosion or just continuous rhythmic slapping echoing in the night?  It's been quite a scene at South Austin's mom's house this past week.

I find her taint muffles most of the awkward noises and/or squirting.

Are we not doing phrasing anymore? 

If it occurs same time every night, can we get some video/audio of the event?

At Austin Community College, they are
