Explosion, 2/9/24, 8:25am - What was it?

[Davonu]

I have no clue, but it shook our house in Mallory Square. 🤔

[baileysdad]

We felt it in Bonita ?

Yes, Felt it in Marsh Bend and DeLuna too

[retiredguy123]

Yes, near Pine Ridge.

[Taltarzac725]

I heard something loud about ten minutes ago here in Lynnhaven. Also shook house.

[NHB1022]

Space capsule returning, broke sound barrier.

Saw that mentioned on Facebook. Where did this happen?

[shut the front door]

Sonic booms from returning Axiom 3. I posted an hour ago that it was going to happen.

[Topspinmo]

There’s rock quarry on other side of prison, could been blasting?

[Velvet]

There’s rock quarry on other side of prison, could been blasting?

I don’t think so because at Mallory I never feel or hear the quarry blasts. I think it was Ax-3 return. I am not at all pleased to wake up to a European commercial flight’s sonic boom.

[fdpaq0580]

Who do you sue when the boom causes a heart attack, accident, or a surgical accident, ending in death? Really. Who ya gonna call? Inquiring minds want to know!

Axiom Mission 3 - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_Mission_3)

Was loud here in Lynnhaven.

but you wouldn't have minded if it was a US commercial flight, or a military flight from any nation?

To inconvenience a lot of the Atlantic coast of Florida even up to TV for 4 people - is very inconsiderate. I have lived through war in central Europe and the sonic boom sounded like a bomb exploding. I know they said it sounded like thunder but it didn’t. I would have been able to tell the difference. They just want to minimize the effect.

And if it leads to first contact with "the aliens" and that ends all poverty, disease, famine and war, how inconsiderate is that?????:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

They should change the laws of physics for your convenience???

About the same as a loud clap of thunder. Actually, thunder can be louder and almost always lasts longer.

I miss the occasional sonic boom. I used to enjoy them.

They can find a more remote place to land, Marshall Islands comes to mind.

And if you like the sound, you can listen to sonic booms all you like, on your headphones - they make them sound like 3 D these days.

It happened in the sky :pepper2:

Seriously??? Instead of recovering 4 astronauts 100 miles off the coast of Florida, we should dump them in the Pacific 8,000 miles away???? And what does anyone have against Marshall Islanders that they would "gift" them with the sonic boom instead?

So we get “gifted” with a sonic boom instead? A few people in the Pacific vs a million on the Florida coast.

I was at Hacienda Hills (Palms) and did not hear it. Greens were very nice though.

Gimme a "B"!
Gimme an "O"!
Gimme an "O"!
Gimme an "M"!
What's that spell?
(Come on man? Don't let me down?)

So what?

Please elaborate how this sonic boom that was about 1/4 as loud as a close lightning strike harmed anyone or anything???? Maybe I'm indifferent to it having grown up on Long Island near Grumman Aerospace---these "booms" were a weekly occurrence in the sixties.

And partly explains some of my hearing loss. That and loud Rock N Roll!

Possibly around the Calverton flight test facility. But any supersonic flights would have been over the Atlantic ocean, south of the Long Island. Personal experience talking. I was there for most of the F-14 development.

[Bilyclub]

So what. Who cares. A little boom at 8:30 in the morning.

[vintageogauge]

Morgan and Morgan. For the people.

Asleep at 8:25?

Night owl! I can relate.

For the people—-to pay more for insurance.

It shook my house near 466A and Buena Vista.

[Nana2Teddy]

This happened in SoCal back in the days when the space shuttle was flying. Two sonic booms in quick succession as it entered earth’s atmosphere. Sometimes we were aware it was coming, sometimes not, but we always knew what it was when it happened. Life in the space age.

[Jazzman]

Wow. This is one of the top ten ridiculous complaints I have seen on this site. Maybe you should have investigated more thoroughly before relocating here

[txfan]

Just a bit more detail...

The SpaceX Crew Dragon was returning from the International Space Station.

Its entry groundtrack took it from SW to NE across Mexico and Florida, with splashdown off the coast of Daytona.

The spacecraft was returning the AX-3 private astronaut crew following a two-week mission.

This ascending entry created the opportunity for sonic booms over our area as it slowed below the speed of sound heading toward the desired splashdown zone.

NASA and Axiom Space have an agreement to fly commercial (private) astronaut missions to and from the Station about once a year when it doesn't interfere with ongoing 24/7 operations.

NASA requires the Commander of the four-person mission to be a former flown NASA astronaut. The other seats can be sold to crew members approved by the partnership.

Axiom is working on designs for a commercial space station that eventually could among several that NASA uses for scientific research after the ISS is retired and deorbited safely over the Pacific at the end of its useful lifetime.

I felt it also. Live in McClure. My roof rafters shook.

What can I say? High stakes MahJongg game with the ladies the night before….

[Buckeye Bill]

We heard the boom also here in Fenney

[TeriBond]

sonic boom of the crew coming back from space station

[Taltarzac725]

I wonder what that sounds and feels like from within the object making the sonic boom?

[DonnaNi4os]

Sonic boom as Space X returned

[Taltarzac725]

Forgot. They hear nothing as there is no sound in space.


Why isn’t there any sound in space? An astronomer explains why in space no one can hear you scream (https://theconversation.com/why-isnt-there-any-sound-in-space-an-astronomer-explains-why-in-space-no-one-can-hear-you-scream-217885)

Only been super sonic in a plane....a little brief buffet, but no sound

[Atamasco]

IMO, blasting at the quarry

[EdFNJ]

IMO, blasting at the quarrySorry, your opinion is wrong. It was all over the news.

Our outdoor security cameras recorded the sound. It was a "double boom" at 8:25 and 10 seconds (+- 1 or 2 seconds for time accuracy) per the time stamp on the recording. Sound level was much reduced on the recording but the house shook when it actually happened. I thought my 15' long shelf in the garage came down again (which happened a couple of years ago and sounded almost like it).

Okay, now it's 50 posts.

It's an event to someone that never experience it before and 50 posts are minimal based on the number of forum members.

[Bogie Shooter]

Sorry, I should have posted. I didn’t hear it.:shrug:

[JMintzer]

Wow. Nearly 50 posts over a non event……….

And people are still posting incorrect information...

The Nevada National Guard used to take off between our house in Reno and Rattlesnake Mountain. There would be sonic booms every so often.

Our neighbor was one of the National Guard pilots and also a Reno area lawyer. Later would become a General at the Pentagon.
