buelliganx1 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Anybody hear this sonic boom that people on 10tv's facebook page are freaking out about? I'm in london and didn't hear a thing some people say it was a sonic boom others are saying that it was about 30 second long and sounded like a jet landing on there house. Just wondered if someone on here that has actually heard a sonic boom before and doesnt automatically think that its some huge government cover up or aliens coming to get us has to say about this.

mrs.cos Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 NBC 4 confirmed it as a sonic boom. I heard nothing and I was out walking the dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Huge and prolonged here in Delaware. Everyone who wasn't outside came outside on the whole block. I was upstairs and at first, dismissed it as a low flying jet. But then, it just got louder and louder. The whole house and everything within began trembling. I ran down the stairs since whatever it was now sounded MASSIVE and almost right above. Once outside, I found I was too late to see what it could've been. Asking a couple who had been outside was futile as they didn't seem to know what it was either. I found this strange since it was partly cloudy and anything crossing the sky should've been clearly visible at different parts. Any links to where others are talking about it?

Guest Hal Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 When was it, I heard something around 6ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 yeah, around 6ish. I couldn't spot the aircraft, something sexy as hell no doubt. Nice ear-splitting rumble for a good minute+ up this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buelliganx1 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Myself I'm just disappointed that I didn't get to hear it, sonic booms are bad ass. I heard the space shuttle coming in over california once while standing on the wing of the plane I was on doing a pre flight inspection at first I thought the plane had just settled or something but a few minutes later when I walked into OPS and saw the shuttle on tv landing it dawned on me what it actually was.

RyM3rC Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 If I had to guess I'd say it was F16s as that's what I usually see but I'm not good enough to ID on sound. Nobody got a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live about 1/8 of a mile from that place, grew up running around in the woods down by little walnut creek behind our house.

evan9381 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I heard it at work just before leaving for the day at 6, so 545-555ish. Westerville near state and schrock. I have no windows in the office, so we thought maybe a quick storm was rolling through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spam Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I heard it too. I thought it was thunder or something. I was in my bedroom and was like, wtf was that. Looked outside real quick....then went back to jerking it. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwohio Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I heard it when I was on Polaris Parkway....sounded like a low-flying jet as well. I'm guessing fighter jets of some sort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I was at work (New Albany and Central College) and I heard a rumbling, thought it was a jet or a storm. It just kept going and got louder, but I didn't see anything. It was coming from the northwest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 About 5:55-6pm for me since I was feeding the dogs. It sounded like it was heading NNW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmiller74 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I hurd it as well and I am south of Grove City, I was outside cleaning my car and figured it was a low flying plain as we get quite a few low flying plains due to rickenbacker airforce base being close but I saw nothing in the air.

Patterson Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Heard it in Worthington. Pretty cool, freaked out the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbotrio Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I definitely heard it in that case. I was at Arrowhead and it sounded like I was at the airport. I scanned the sky and couldn't see anything. This. Walked out on the deck in Galena and didn't see a thing but it def lasted a good minute or more. Odd too since it was sunny and even though there were clouds in the sky it seemed like whatever it was should have been visible.

TTQ B4U Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Was home in Dublin attempting to watch the news but the kids were working off their last bit of adrenaline from the day so no one at my home heard it.

Supplicium Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yup I heard it in new albany / 161 area. It sounded like fighter jets and huge cargo plane flying real low after like a takeoff. I had no idea what was going on but lately I have been hearing a similar sound around sunset - 10:30pm sounds like a low flying commercial flight at first then its sounds like a fighter jet blowin by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
