Science Abuse Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I've heard reports from groups of people 10 mile apart, from Lewis Center to Delaware, that say they heard a big bang on Weds night last week. Anyone else here hear it? Know what it was? Sonic Boom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I heard a big bang Wednesday night between 11:30p - 12:00a. Went outside thinking someone shot the house. The windows shook, the dogs woke and were freaking, etc. I searched everywhere and couldn't find anything. Checked the basement and garage, nothing. Called the Pickerington police. They said it was ice breaking on people's roofs. Not sure, but that could be it. It did sound like a sonic boom though. The whole house shook.

coty061885 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Rock quarry? I work right down the road from it and have heard them blasting occasionally. I haven't heard it in a while so that's probably not it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Probably something from Wright Patt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Sudden expansion of the ground and buildings are known to be causes of such things. They had a news story on it the other day too. My wife kept telling me to go look outside thinking someone was hitting the house with something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I heard something around midnight if I remember right last week. I figured it was ice breaking on the roof, but i don't understand that since it was like 10 degrees outside. I figured it would need to be warmer for it to crack/break like that.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I heard it here in Ashville. Opened a blind because I, too, thought a car crashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I heard it in my sleep, I rolled over and appologized to the wife and told her to keep her head above the covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 So thus far, we've got window-shaking booms observed here: http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/2830/boommapys7.png That's not going to be Quarry blasting or a house blowing up. I'm leaning toward sonic boom, something moving fast in a north-south direction... or south-north.. would need specific times for that.

mmrmnhrm Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Rock quarry? I work right down the road from it and have heard them blasting occasionally. I haven't heard it in a while so that's probably not it. The one over on Section Line? You're right, it's been strangely quiet of late. Those blasts typically shake my office, and we haven't had so much as a rumble in the past few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Here's something that might be the cause http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball/fireball_log2009.html Seems there were lots of fireball reports for last Wednesday. Bright one too. Magnitude -10 is the brightest full moon equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybye Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 a house blew completely up off of cheshire street in delaware. and i mean the whole damn house is gone. and part of it lying on the van in the driveway. i have never in my life seen anything like it. my best friend justin's (evil666stang) father lives across the street from the house and i guess it shattered some of his windows and did some other damage? i dont know much more on the story....but i thought it was a meth lab in the basement or something?lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs.cos Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Probably something from Wright Patt. Sonic booms would not fly all the way out here to do testing.. Trust me.. i grew up next to wright patt. They are actually not allowed to do it anymore, unless there is an emergencey. They did it on 9/11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
