Jolted

I am not from Cambridge but am babysitting friends’ house in Leamington, very near Wordsworth and Burns streets intersection.

I was jolted out of my bed at five minutes to four in the morning a couple of weeks back by one of the explosions people have been talking about.

Ali Tocker wrote (letters, October 16) they have been occurring since 2017. If that be the case, these explosions have been occurring for eight years and no one has ever reported property damage.

The explosion I heard was big – there was percussion with it.

Ken Wagner (Letters, October 23)  suggested power grid network issues.  Given the size of the explosion and no property damage I can think of nothing else it could be.

Failing that, UFOs breaking through a space-time warp over central Cambridge.
