A Viewer Writes; BOOM!

What the heck just happened? I heard a loud boom and my whole house shook. It sounded like an explosion. I live in Hebron and a friend of mine in Salisbury said he heard it too.

  2. Felt heard near Hebron also. A friend of a friend felt it near wor-wic. That's not possible from a sonic boom, right?

  4. Sheriffs dept. said it was heard in Fruitland as well. I ran outside (live off of Old Ocean City Road near Moss Hill) and heard jets flying over, so probably military exercises and they had the throttle pushed a little too far forward.

  12. PAX NAS jet. Most likely F-35 and he was just having fun. Was a weekly occurrence in the 70's when they still bombed the target ship and Bloodsworth Island. The good ole days when this area had plenty of fish, oysters and deer for everyone and a lack of DNR and come heres.

  18. Believe me, I lived in the California desert for 19 years right under the DoD's high speed corridor (R-2508), I guarantee that was a sonic boom. Heard hundreds and hundreds of them and the one tonight, with its characteristic double boom, was a sonic boom - just like old times ;)

  29. I saw a larger plane being flanked by two jet fighters on either side flying North and climbing altitude and making a long left loop eventually heading Southwest and disappeared. Twenty minutes later, Boom. After I ran outside, I saw two fighters mid altitude moving fast towards Dover out of the southwest and 2 minutes lat, 2 more jets, higher altitude and slower, coming out of the southwest and towards Dover.

  43. Y'all better head for your safe spaces. Jets breaking the sound barrier were once a common thing on the shore. With the right weather conditions, the shock wave can travel 30 + miles.

    Ground width of the boom exposure area is approximately 1 statute mile (1.6 km) for each 1,000 feet (300 m) of altitude (the width is about five times the altitude); that is, an aircraft flying supersonic at 30,000 feet (9,100 m) will create a lateral boom spread of about 30 miles (48 km).

  55. I saw three fighter jets patrolling the area yesterday afternoon. You know, the super fast kind, not the slow WartHogs. Obviously military exercises were being conducted.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Dash 8's are turbo-props not jets.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Mmmm , as some of you older people know these explosions or Booms were pretty frequent years ago , the Naval air bass is across the bay and flies over a lot having said that it was a sonic boom .

    It's "alluded." "Eluded" means to escape or avoid. They sound alike: two totally different words.

    ReplyDelete
  59. An extensive area suggests a sonic boom at a high altitude like 50,000 feet.Had it occurred at say 25,000 feet the boom wouldn't have been heard nearly as far.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Kim Jung Un is probably conducting military exercises off the Atlantic coast.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Not as scary as 2-3 thugs kicking your door in during a home invasion robbery.....I'll the the sonic boom any day. It is amazing for how many republicans there are, how many people are scared of a loud noise. Must not be hunters or shooters.
