For those of you in the Ocean City area, did you just hear that double BOOM? I'm checking into it but perhaps one, (or some) of you know what it might have been. I'm guessing something at Mach II speed?
UPDATE: No emergency calls were generated from it so it must have been a jet breaking Mach speed.

Single boom here in Williamsville (between Selbyville and West Fenwick.) Very loud.
Heard a double boom last Saturday. Probably U.N. practicing.
FEMA preparing for October 1 with 380,000 troops doing maneuvers.
taco bell for lunch...sorry. my bad.
what poster 3:42 Pm said and could be them autonomous f16's called the qf-16... which is a f-16 fitted with remote controls by boeing to have a fighter jet be able to fly as if no one is inside...
lol get ya tinfoil hats ready. October 1 will be just another day, nothing special. But keep believing!
2 booms has nothing to do with Mach 1 vs Mach 2. Mach 1 is the speed of sound, anytime it is surpassed a pressure wave is created and may be heard as a single or double boom depending upon distance from aircraft.
Obama practicing shooting at the United States Citizens who oppose him.
I was having a sever head ache just before the loud explosion. Must be reading brain waves again. Soon there will be no secretes.
I heard it when I was leaving Ocean City scared the crap out of me.
(Seriously)... It happens a lot on the coast. The key word is "double boom". A plane that breaks the sound barrier emits a double boom in quick succession. You'll need to Wikipedia the explanation of that. Too complicated for me!
In the days of the SST, just about every Tuesday (for some reason, Tuesday) you would hear a sonic boom in OC if the conditions were right, as it broke the sound barrier over the Atlantic around 1:30PM.
427 GEEK
411 too funny.
They've been flying maneuvers that I've seen myself over the last week from OC to Trappe. F16's or something similar.

I don't know what you're trying to say, and I don't think you do either. You contradicted yourself.
