what were the sonic booms yesterday
there were three sonic booms yesterday but they werent like they usually were they were back to back to back. My dad said he saw a jet stream yesterday split just like when a space shuttle exploded.

I heard loud 3 louds booms also.
I looked around outside, and then I checked to make sure that everything appeared to be okay in my home.

Probably the fighter planes that train over the NW school district out of Wright- Patterson.

Re: what were the sonic booms yesterday
Like Fido said, they have used the area around Otway and Rarden for as long as I can remember. They used to fly out of Richenbacher but I guess now they are out of Wright Patterson. When I was installing satellite dishes back in the late 80's and early 90's we were in that area quite often because of no cable in the area and we would see them practicing their dogfights all the time. One of the coolest things I ever saw was we were up on top of a really large hill once putting in a dish when a pair of Fighter Jets came roaring up the valley below us probably no more than 100 feet off the ground chasing each other in a dogfight. When they pulled up to get out of the valley the trees swayed back and forth violently on the hill they climbed up from the backwash of their engines.
That was awesome to see up so close.

Re: what were the sonic booms yesterday
Maybe someone was doing some blasting in the area because commercial jets don't break the sound barrier.
