1. The accumulation of methane occurred under a dome of permafrost that covered a HUGE region. Rotting vegetation and animal matter occurred in independent pockets, which soon joined at the edges so that the ENTIRE REGION was honeycombed with gas pockets just under the permafrost layer.
   
2. Witnesses reported a BLUISH flame that reminded them of the Auroras! Methane burns blue!
   
3. The flash of light you've misinterpreted to be a meteor flew from southeast to northwest, exactly back along the path of the prevailing westerlies where a methane wick had been stretched.
   
4. Where the mixture allowed rapid combustion but the mix of oxygen would not support an explosion, then it was simply a burn off at the edges. Thus the blue flame.
   
5. Where there was more oxygen in the mix, supporting an explosion, this occurred. And when it did, this affected all uncombusted methane in the area, completing the process and using up all available oxygen. Thus rather than boom boom boom, there was only BOOM.
   
6. Explosions blow IN ALL DIRECTIONS, even downward. Why do you find the evidence that there was a downward blast to be inconsistent with a methane gas explosion?
