Reports Report 623b (Event 623-2024)
| Observer | |

| Name | Marvin G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I did try to listen for a sound of a boom, I waited for a fair amount of time. Good chance I could not hear it since I was facing SW and Dodge street is in that direction. This main drag of Omaha provides a near constant white noise. Also 156th street is right behind my house and traffic was also going down that. My profession is a Civil designer (I do mostly site layout not so much public infrastructure) so I have a good eye for angles and a good sense of the position of objects in relation to one another. |
