So this last Friday, Dec. 31,...the southern part of the city kept on illuminating very bright, like a flourescent light tube. Almost the luminosity of lightning, but much brighter and more opaque, taking up a very wide surface area in the sky.

I was going to say that the flashes are likely the result of live fire exercises on Nomans Land Island off the western tip of Nantucket. The national guard I believe used it for bombing practice. (A-10s from Barnes in Westfield, MA and Bradley Intl Airport, CT) That would've explain the noises and flashes you're seeing. Though after a little research: en.wikipedia.org...(Massachusetts)
Apparently they don't use it anymore. Maybe they're unexploded bombs going off?

Check into Heat Lightning. Here in Florida, we're so used to it, we don't even give it a second thought, but it's basically thunder-less lightning that doesn't fork down to the ground.... When behind the clouds (relative to the observer), it makes a hell of a light show...

Oh and the night the Persoid meteor shower happened was the WORSE. I walked outside to take a picture of the moon because it was ORANGE and then I could hear the sounds of massive distant explosions and the sky would light up every minute or two from incoming meteors.

The next day they said it was a car crashing into some electrical box knocking out the electricity and causing a flash to light up the sky... all the way to san francisco, haha yeah right, also keep in mind the power had already been out for a hour or so. Everyone in our city saw it, well not everyone, but enough people to have a buzz around town about it. But what I dont get is if it was from a car accident why was there two flashes and how could it of lit up the sky like that

HI ImplementofWar!
The classic problem with these types of posts is that the poster never has a camera to hand, so no one ever believes them, but as you were going outside with a camera to take some shots you're obviously going to have some to post! I mean why would you not take some shots, the orange moon ones will be interesting but I'm sure as you had your camera with you you took some of the phenomena! looking forward to seeing those!!
Cheers
