    When I was a kid, the FAA had not outlawed sonic booms from aircraft. When a jet would go supersonic at low altitude, the boom would shake blocks and blocks of homes and even break out windows. Maybe a jet throttled up and broke the sound barrier too low.

    Aircraft sonic booms are double pulsed, so it would be a quick "boom boom". Very easy to tell a sonic boom of a high speed aircraft from a UFO by that characteristic double boom.

    Umm...Hoosierdoc? I think you had best find another source for your pic or you're going to get hit with the ban hammer.

    Hrm, did I miss something? I'm at work behind a strict firewall for web content and posted a pic I thought was from MSNBC.

    EDIT: REPOST FROM PHOTOBUCKET:

    Maybe it was a whale exploding?

    Thought about something from the airport because Im not far from Mt comfort but the neighbors said it sounded south of us. Sounded like the tailgate of a dump truck slamming closed after unloading but MUCH louder. And I doubt it was a rectal sonic boom. Guess Ill text my PD buddies.

    So I was told what the issue with my pic was. Wow. Sorry guys. I did a preview post and it was fine, must've been a delay before it zapped the swapped photo in. Yowsers.
