MYSTERY BOOMS -
http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wi...,6100808.story
NEW YORK - 3/7/09 - There were reports of a big "boom" and a brilliant yellow streak in the skies north of New York City. There was no seismic activity in the region. The sound early Saturday has been likened to a window-rattling explosion. Police got a flurry of reports from people in Scarsdale, Mount Vernon, Yonkers, Tuckahoe, Eastchester and Bronxville. An witness to the spectacle early Saturday in Westchester County apparently saw a meteorite fireball. A collector is offering $10,000 for a piece of the meteorite. Another "boom" was reported early Monday in neighboring Rockland County.

A second loud boom - 3/9/09 - may have rattled windows in parts of Rockland County Monday - and its origin remains as mysterious as the explosive noise that blew through southern Westchester County over the weekend. "It was about 5:15 a.m., and it woke up the whole house. The house was shaking. It sounded like someone had flown an F-16 over the house." An earlier unexplained "boom" shook homes in parts of southern Westchester early Saturday. That noise, and the one that reportedly woke up parts of Rockland yesterday, was unlikely to be an earthquake, weather pattern, falling space debris or a civilian aircraft, officials from local, state and federal agencies said. The likelihood of the boom being from a meteorite would be "very rare." "When people say bigger, they usually mean brighter. It is possible that something in the atmosphere can do that, but it is very rare. But seeing it moving in a downward arc would be an optical illusion. You would not be able to see that." There also have been no confirmed reports of seismic activity over the weekend.

CALIFORNIA - 3/4/09 - had a similar boom mystery a few days earlier. The search for the cause of the sonic boom Central Coast residents felt Wednesday morning may be a bust. A Federal Aviation Administration official said the search for the source of the mysterious morning rattling has turned up nothing. "We reviewed all the radar data for flights in the airspace in Northern California around the time that people reported this boom. There were several military aircraft operating but they were slow. None of these aircraft were going supersonic." The Orange County Register reported a sonic boom 12 hours before what was heard on the Central Coast on Wednesday. The mystery has spurred its share of conspiracy theories. On the Sentinel Web site, readers comments suggested the boom was E.T.'s return, an intercontinental missile fired by North Korea, a chemtrail weather modification program or test runs of new, secret U.S. Navy jets. Orange County residents had similar theories after thousands of doors and windows across the county rattled and vibrated. Some suggested an asteroid was the source of the shaking. The asteroid passed by Monday night. A U.S. Geological Survey spokesperson said the shaking was not caused by an earthquake, though several people called 911 to report a possible rattler after the boom.

I woke up to booms here last week, but I think they were military doing artillery practice up at Ft. Lewis. It's always surprising to me how much distance those sounds can travel.

Maybe Aurora is back!!

" A series of unusual sonic booms were detected in Southern California, beginning in mid to late 1991. On at least five occasions, these sonic booms were recorded by at least 25 of the 220 U.S. Geological Survey sensors across Southern California used to pinpoint earthquake epicenters. The incidents were recorded in June, October and November 1990, and late January 1991.[citation needed] Seismologists[who?] estimate that the aircraft were flying at speeds between Mach 5 and 6 (3,300-4,000 mph) and at altitudes of 8-10 km (26,200-32,800 ft). The aircraft's flight path was in a north-northeast direction, consistent with flight paths to secret test ranges in Nevada. Seismologists say[who?] that the sonic booms were characteristic of a smaller vehicle than the 37-meter long shuttle orbiter. Furthermore, neither the shuttle nor NASA's single SR-71B was operating on the days the booms were registered.[9] It is not definitively known if these events can be tied to the Aurora program or to other acknowledged or secret programs.[original research?]

In the article "In Plane Sight?" which appeared in the Washington City Paper on July 3, 1992 (p.12-13), one of the seismologists, Jim Mori, noted: "We can't tell anything about the vehicle. They seem stronger than other sonic booms that we record once in a while. They've all come on Thursday mornings about the same time, between 6 and 7 in the morning."[5]

Former NASA sonic boom expert Dom Maglieri studied the 15-year old sonic boom data from the California Institute of Technology and has deemed that the data showed "something at 90,000 feet, Mach 4 to Mach 5.2. He also said the booms did not look like booms from aircraft that had traveled through the atmosphere many miles away at LAX, rather, they appeared to be booms from a high-altitude aircraft directly above the ground moving at high speeds.[citation needed] The boom signatures of the two different aircraft patterns are wildly different.[10] "

interesting....

i live in upstate ny...
and ive heard a few "booms" lately as well....

usually after about 4 am.

one was in an afternoon though..

also........

I took a drive the other day,
within that one day.. I saw 5 military helicopters....

got pics of them to....

but it was interesting to see 5 different military choppers in one day.. all in different locations.

the last one i saw... was going one way, until i started taking pics of it....

then it flew right over head of me.

quite low to..

i still got the pics if anyones interested.

also.......

about 2 weeks ago...

i hear a LOUD noise.. like a BIG fighter jet in the sky...

so i went out to look, and it was coming from the north....

a single orange light....
moving faster than any airplane in the sky... with a LOUD noise....

then.. once it got over head.. and past me a little....
i then could see the single orange light... and a single blue light now visible.. a few degrees away from the orange one.

it had gone from horizon to horizon in about 15 seconds.

Had to be some kind of Human........

as ET craft arent that loud i dont think. lol

But it was loud, and very fast.. and id never seen anything like it.

my guess was govt. stuff.

A logical explanation would be military training if it is not meteorite related. I live next to a military base and I am familiar with the explosions and house rattling. It is funny how people just ignore it. But if you are not from the area, it is quite frightening.

However, if these explosions are happening around places where there are no military bases, maybe their is something top secret going on. That is another subject all together.

There is much space debris in our atmosphere right now including many meteorites and so forth. But if there is an alien war going on, it could be debris from battle. But that is a sci-fi approach and I am not that big of a Battle Star Galactica fan. What the frack can you do when aliens are blowing each other up and their debris is exploding in the atmosphere?

EXCLUSIVE: Here Comes The BOOM. First Video Evidence Of Mysterious Noise And Light In CSRA
Video on link above.

00:00ReadyA lot of you heard it, early Friday morning…that big “boom” that rattled houses and woke many people up. Some viewers told us they saw a flash of light around that time, too. A Grovetown woman says her surveillance cameras caught that light, and she’s sharing her pictures with us. WJBF News Channel 6’s Joy Howe spoke with her on Monday. A lot of people think this was a meteor, and now this video could help scientists confirm that. The video shows a flash of light…and it shows something falling from the sky…

http://www.wjbf.com/jbf/news/state_r...es_csra/11990/
SOUTH CAROLINA - 3/20/09 - A loud noise was heard shortly before 3 a.m. Friday morning in Aiken, Richmond and Columbia counties. Local law enforcement agencies also report hearing the boom, but no one knows what caused it. Two Aiken County Sheriff’s Office deputies reportedly saw a fireball in the sky.
From the heavens came a fire ball, and a boom.
http://www.wjbf.com/jbf/entertainmen...ig_boom/12008/
Aiken is a town that’s not easily fooled, and is questioning the reports that the flash, and bang in the early morning sky, was a meteor. “I’ve heard the meteorite story, I’ve heard the airplane sonic boom story, I don’t know." "I’m not buying the meteor explanation, no."
http://www.wjbf.com/jbf/news/state_r...sra/11990/P20/
There is a report that power was lost over downtown Augusta (at least) at around 3am that morning. It was restored by 4am. Of course, this could be a coincidence with the timing of the boom. Since the collision of Russian and American satellites on Feb. 10, 2009, there have been a number of similar (unexplained) incidents reported (booms, meteor-like objects, etc.).
Video evidence of boom and light - 3 property surveillance tapes captured odd footage. “...area right here, where the little swirl came down…there it went! There it went!“ The amazed owner never heard the sound…but after hearing reports, she believes she’s recorded light from the unidentified “object” that was seen and heard all over the CSRA, Friday morning. She has 3 surveillance cameras that captured 3 different images from that morning. Two cameras show something falling…this object fell a few seconds before the flash on the deck was seen…the other happened 42 seconds after the flash. A meteorite hunter is plotting points on a map of the area to try and pinpoint exactly where debris fell.

Hmmm, I've actually heard a boom or two myself but don't remember if it was night or day, I guess I didn't pay that much attention to it, oops. LOL
