the SC sonic boom of May 28
I was hoping they'd have a confirmed answer by now as to what caused the sonic boom here on May 28. A jet? A meteor? But there is no consensus. NASA says no meteor. A couple of people who track meteors have indications it was a meteor.
I felt it as a big ::WHOOMP:: - similar to the booms earlier this year when Fort Jackson exploded old ordinance. The cams rarely pick up earth movement but this time even one of the cams shook a little, along with picking up the sound.
