He speculated it could have been a weapons cache, but it&#8217;s unclear who it belongs to.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was clearly a military explosive,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It was not fertilizer like ammonium nitrate. I&#8217;m quite sure of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You look at that orange ball (of fire), and it&#8217;s clearly, like I said, a military explosive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Baer noted that white powder seen in the videos of the incident before the major blast are likely an indicator that ammonium nitrate was present and burning.
