Anyone hear or feel sonic booms in New Jersey / New York area? It was reported on the news, and said as many as eight were felt and heard as it shook homes. It just happened, so no one knows what it is. I know we got a lot of members from this area. Did anyone notice or feel them?
EDIT: It has now been heard as far south as Charleston, SC.
Updated some news sources just appeared.
Yahoo News (http://news.yahoo.com/jersey-shore-rocked-sonic-boom-201600707.html)

Sonic booms? But from what? How strange
-
No one knows yet. I just found this kind of startling.
-
There is a whether phenomenon called, "Frost Booms." But to have as many as eight in a row, that is weird. According to the articles, the Army says it wasn't them either.
-
It would be real interesting if someone here heard them or felt them.
It happened over the town of, Hammonton, New Jersey.

Wow.
You know what this means??
Aliens!

He said it, it MUST be true.
ALIENS.
-
Why is he so high looking? Lol! Why would you come to a television show like that?
-
Isn't there coal mining out there? Could it be blasts from that?
-
Not the case. Those blasts would appear on the USGS tremor charts, yes, but they wouldn't be "sonic booms" that shake everything from NYC to SC.
-
There are plenty of quarries, they do use explosions and stuff. But I suppose it can't be that for the reasons MasterX stated above ^
-
I would think the people around there would be used to the "typical" explosion. So this is weird. I guess we can only hope the media actually follows up on this instead of dropping it after a 12 hours news cycle.
-
This article from NBC 5 in New York is hardly reassuring.
News Source (http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Earthquake-Sonic-Boom-Shaking-New-Jersey-New-York-Connecticut-Long-Island-Tri-State-Shaking-NY-CT-NJ-366886661.html)
They just assure us that it was sonic booms.... but doesn't explain why. What kind of spin is this?
-
It's obviously a cover up for something *le gasp* could it actually have been the military??? *dun dun duuuuun* ;)
-
I guess time will tell if it was a warning sign of something bigger and worse.
Lets instead talk about something far more pressing, The Ring of Fire and when it will blast and let loose all fury along the west coast. Oh... right, this is a topic about the east coast.
-
I bet we won't ever get an answer.
-
I'm from New Jersey, and I only felt something of a slight tremor -- honestly, it scared my dog more than it did me. I thought the neighbors were doing something weird, LOL. But it's shocking to see this make national news so fast. I felt more movement when we had that mini-earthquake here a few years ago.
-edit- Just to go on the record, I'm not in the town that MasterXTreme name dropped specifically. That's in south Jersey, which my town is pretty much the tip of. So I guess it makes sense that I felt them.
-
Yeah I'm just gonna stay away from this one
-
My dad just got an update. It was the sonic booms from a fighter jet that was being tested.
-
So its a jet? The media hasnt shared that yet. They keep claiming the military didnt do it.
-
Of course they claim the military didn't do it. If something causes panic and the military is behind it, there's always gonna be a cover story to protect them from litigation.
-
It is upsetting if this is true because the military said they werent doing anything
The fact we cant trust our own government who is supposed to work for us, is upsetting.
-
Even still, I have more faith in the military then our country's police force nowadays.
-
I have more faith in the military and police then i do our White House. I fully support those out there who work to keep us safe everyday.
-
Yeah see here's the thing. I was raised as a republican, but any republican has to be a frickin idiot if they think Donald Trump will do good for our country. Bernie Sanders all the way baby
-
Not to go into politics, but Bernie has like, no concept of economics. There's no possible way he will be able to make college free for Americans. It just. No.

*My mind's taking this serious topic and warping it into something sneeze related. Sonic boom sneezes from a random person!! XD*
In all seriousness though, Paws is the one with the most accurate and most reliable info since she's in that state =) I'm all the way out in Utah, so I only know what crazy stuff media says.
Thank you Paws for saying what you did :)
-
perhaps a separate thread should be started for politic talking like in the old place
-
I wonder if my family felt anything. I'm from good ol' Joisy too. But am not there at the moment.
-
perhaps

I was totally thinking Sonic SNEEZE Boom! It'd be crazy if Dash had that happen.... Like she sneezed while doing a Sonic Rainboom.
-
Just as Paws said, it would seem a Yahoo News is reporting that, an F-35 fighter jet likely caused the sonic booms. (https://news.yahoo.com/f-35-fighter-jet-likely-caused-sonic-booms-173623576.html)
If that is true, then the military was wrong about not conducting flights that day.
-
I can just imagine Dash going backwards or something if that happened haha
-
.................can we get art of this?

-
What do you even do in your spare time, APD? Haha
-
I pump myself up to inspiring music, open my front door, and slip on ice... then I lay there looking up at the sky till the mail man comes and drops off my mail. I then skulk back inside.
-
I put earbuds in my ears, turn on my iphone, and dance like a frickin idiot
-
Aw haha, oh APD. So silly.
I don't really know what I do. I just sit around and waste my time.
