Observation
Yes
Remarks
@ exactly 1:30 am I heard a muffled sonic like boom of approx. 5-10 sec or more.I calculated at mile per sec like lightning and thunder = 1080 miles ?? This was a clear night and only other faint sound was the interstate but this sound wasn't anything associated with it. I've heard the sonic boom from shuttle re=entering atmosphere several years ago. The reason I know the times is I looked at my cell phone at entry, but I couldn't think of anyone who'd be up to share the experience. Then the boom later I knew they were related and viewed time again.
