Leaning toward meteor sonic boom, though I didn't see a flash.

Boeing test, apparently -- (link) - TWuG Dec 21, 11:10 2
- sonic booms from military jets are usually two rapid ones, a double tap, and two sets of them as they normally fly in pairs -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 21, 11:27
- Would explain the white over blue government jet. Probably observing the test. -- nm - TWuG Dec 21, 11:12
Could've been this plane -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 21, 10:50 2
- Or an alien dropship coming out of lightspeed -- nm - eag Dec 21, 10:53 1
  - Yes, given the declassified videos last year, this is possible. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 21, 11:28
If this video is accurate, it doesn't sound like a sonic boom -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 21, 10:43
I've heard three deep rumble noises here. Could be my hot water tank's boiler, or could be the nearby US military base sending up Warthogs or whatever - Beryllium Dec 21, 10:12 1
- Yeah, Growlers on Whidbey Island. Could be those. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 21, 10:13
May have been a plane. Saw a white over blue government plane just before. - TWuG Dec 21, 10:00 1
- Heard in at least three counties -- nm - TWuG Dec 21, 10:02
I remember when the York International plant had a ruptured 40’ tank … killed at least 1 guy, blew the roof off and one of the tanks landed 1/4 mile - Will Hunting Dec 21, 09:57
SMOD IS HERE -- nm - JaxSean Dec 21, 09:54
Huh. Nothing here in Bloomington. -- nm - Dark Callisto Dec 21, 09:53 9

- Yeah, but things are usually Normal in Bloomington. -- nm - ReluctantSanta Dec 21, 09:53 5
  - *boos* *throws things* -- nm - spamlet Dec 21, 09:55 4
    - Oh, c'mon! - ReluctantSanta Dec 21, 10:21 3
      - Little bit. ;) -- nm - Dark Callisto Dec 21, 10:25 2
        
        Well I don’t want to get on Dark Callisto’s bad side so…. -- nm - spamlet Dec 21, 10:42
        
        That's all I need. That's my threshold for the day. :-) -- nm - ReluctantSanta Dec 21, 10:39
