I thought it was just thunder, but no one seems to know what it was yet.

Here is a translation of an article:

A number of residents in Buleleng, Bali, were shocked by the sound of an explosion on Sunday (21/1). The sound of the explosion was reported at around 10:27 WITA. A number of tweets about the explosion circulated on Twitter.

Regarding the sound of the explosion, Head of the Earthquake and Tsunami Mitigation Division of BMKG Daryono said the data was recorded in the BMKG system in Buleleng.
"So if the data is there because the people of Buleleng hear everything, there is evidence of this phenomenon at 10:27 WITA," said Daryono to Kumparan, Sunday (21/1).

Even so, it is not in the BMKG's domain to mention the cause of this phenomenon. In his tweet, Daryono said this phenomenon was not tectonic earthquake activity.
"Because two other seismic sensors located relatively close did not record it," wrote Daryono.
