Our building (in San Diego) just went THUMP, THUMP!
Space shuttle is scheduled to land at Edwards AFB in a few minutes.

Coincidence?

9. Sonic booms were very common in this area before 1969
When the Navy agreed not to go supersonic over land unless it was necessary.

10. Yup. Here in N. County it felt like an impact. I had forgotten about the
shuttle and was going around outside looking for whatever fell over! It really felt like something heavy fell right on top of the house. Impressive. Anyway, was walking past the muted T.V. and noticed the shuttle coming in to Edwards and realized that's what it was.

I'd experienced that once before, but it was so long ago I forgot what it was like.

:wow:

11. Really odd ... I live in the Antelope Valley and didn't hear it at all
I usually do when the shuttle lands here, but this time didn't. Must be something about the entry corridor.

18. My parents lived in Florida near the Cape and got that a lot
The first boom would send the pictures on the wall awry. The second one would straighten them back out.

So they said...

19. Ah-ha! A sonic boom!
I thought my tree dropped a branch on my roof or my neighbor backed into my house or something.

20. We hear that every Friday here in the D.C. metro area.
It's the sound of boxes of papers landing on desks during the regular Friday night document dump.
