I am from Serebia and saw it at 19:30 local time. I didn't hear the BOOM because I live 200km from fall site. If I find some new informations and photos, I'll post them here.

Djordje Savic writes,
"About 19:30, CET I heard thunder just like a metro entering the substation for about 4 or 5 secunds. There was also a bright light on southern sky. I live in Vladicin Han 30km north of city of Vranje and 100km south of Nis. My grilfriend told me that, In her nearby town, Surdulica, 10 km east of Vladicin Han, most of citizens left their homes in panic of earthquake, what they thought in that moment.
The National Television Station said in midnight news that a small of earthquake 1.4 of Righter scale was detected in Leskovac, about 45 km northern of Vladicin Han.
I have not seen any videos of this event, only some witnesses states of thunder and bright light. Some peoples from northern cities like Nis, Belgrade, Pirot etc. have mentioned in their comments on several web portals they saw bright sphere on souther sky falling down and change colour."
