October 24, 2002 Greetings Meteorite Enthusiasts!
Long time no write! Just yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) when I was out picking apples in our orchard, my family and I heard what we think to be a possible sonic boom. It was heard at ~4:17 P.M. EDT which translates into ~20:17 UT. The sky at the time was unfortunately 98%+ overcast by clouds. I and my brother Matt thought it came from the north, but my father thought it could have come from the west, while others thought it originated from directions elsewhere too. It did not sound like any small type of gun shot or similar noise but something of a larger nature, such as a jet or FIREBALL. It was also heard at our house, roughly a mile and a half from where we were at the farm, from inside while a noisy washing machine was on. Sonic booms "were" a common occurrence around these parts from aircraft years ago. Has anyone else heard this suspicious noise or have seen it reported? Please tell! Long strewn fields!
