This is a newer realistic thunder sound effect that has not yet been released on any commercial or professional sound effects libraries, except for the Soundelux Sound Effects Library. Likely created originally for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984); it is unknown if it was a Skywalker Sound sound effect for that film.
