Military aircraft surreptitiously creating sonic booms. (This origin does not explain sounds heard before supersonic flight, but could be extended to include military cannon-fire practice.) Earthquakes: Shallow earthquakes can generate sound waves with little ground vibration: The "booming" sound is heard only locally, near the epicenter. [7] [8]
During extreme cold events, you may hear a loud boom and feel like you have experienced an earthquake. However, this event was more likely a cryoseism, also known as an ice quake or a frost quake ...
Meteors that explode in the atmosphere, known as bolides, can cause loud booms and bright flashes, according to NOAA. NASA's Geostationary Lightning Mapper often catches evidence of bolides, but ...
DOTHAN, Ala. (WDHN) — If you have heard loud booms in the skies across southeast Alabama over the past couple of days, you are not alone. Fighter planes from across the world are taking part in ...
Barisal guns or fog guns (mistpoeffers (fog dissipators) in Belgium and Netherlands, Seeschießen (sea/lake gunshots) in Germany, brontidi (thunder-alike) or baturlio marinas in Italy) [1] are a series of loud booms heard near the Barisal region of Bangladesh in the 19th century. [2] [3] There are various theories about the origin of the sound.
An airburst detected in El Paso and Las Cruces. The fireball traveled S-SE before disintegrating 10–15 miles above the surface with a loud explosion, traveling around 30,000 MPH. Luminosity is described only as "a very bright flash of light, bright orange-red, similar to a distant sunset". [52] 1997, Dec 9 Europe: 150 km south of Nuuk, Greenland
Residents in parts of New Jersey and New York took to social media on Tuesday afternoon to report hearing a loud explosion, boom or shaking. Some speculated that it might have been an earthquake ...
The Forward boom state was 5.9 feet (1.8 m) long and had the smallest diameter of the three, while the Mid-Boom State was 4.3 feet (1.3 m) long and the second largest in diameter. [3] The spike, made of composite materials , creates three small shock waves that travel parallel to each other all the way to the ground, producing less noise than ...
