We were in Wendell. I did not hear or feel anything. What time did it happen?

Has anyone thought the sound might be an earthquake?

someone needs to plot the reports on a map to see the size of the circle, or oval, to see if it was moving, and which way.

They haven't started up that LHC, have they?

I heard it and it sure didn't seem like a sonic boom. Sonic booms are loud and shake you but this had a massive shock wave. We didn't see any smoke so we thought that there must have been a tanker truck explode on clayton bypass so we drove to were we could see but nothing.

Either way, good luck figuring out who it was IF it was an aircraft. Not even ATC will know unless they go back and pull the RADAR tapes. Even then, if the aircraft's transponder was off, no go.

Check with NAS Oceana in Virginia Beach. They have F18's flying all the time. The weekends aren't as busy as M-F but you never know. They also have RDU as a transition on one of their SID's.

They are not suppose to exceed the sound barrier, but they have done it, many times.

Oh, well if they are "not allowed" we can permanently dismiss that theory.

officials at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Wayne County said planes are not allowed to produce a sonic boom

Allowed???? ROFLMAO

However, officials at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Wayne County said planes are not allowed to produce a sonic boom. Plus, all of the base's F-15s completed landing at 4:15 p.m., officials said.

WRAL is working on the story and will report more information once it becomes available

straight off wral press
