Is it just me or does the sky get darker immediately following the flashes?

Although I am no expert in exploding powerplants, only actual large-scale fission or fusion would cause such light and if so, it would be almost instantaneous, not protracted over seconds.
It does not look like an explosion to me, more like massive electrical arcing, possibly massive lightning?

If it was from an impact, there should have been seismic readings showing this. This event is airborne probably then. Very interesting, great post.

interesting.. my bet is lightning and the sky getting darker is just the camera reacting to the intense light change so when it stops the camera has iris-ed down.

Not lightning at all watch this

is that supposed to be the same event? need to check timestamps and locations. it still does not look like a huge explosion or impact. to me, it looks like some high-voltage electrical event, like a large transformer shorting or something. i'm no electrician but i find that arcing unmistakeable.
anyone else have an explanation?

its electrical arching for sure, substation transformer having a hissy fit on a grand scale.
