    I'd seriously doubt that hypothesis, due to the typical irregularity of space rocks entering the atmosphere...

    :)... when that large quake hit up in Virginia a year or so back, I felt the effects in my home in NW Raleigh! House shook, sounding like a VERY strong gust of wind suddenly hit.

    Having felt a LOT of quakes of various intensities in over two dozen years in Silicon Valley, CA, I immediately made my usual conjecture: "Either we just had about a 2.4 Richter near here, or there's some city a few hundred miles away that's now just about two feet tall...."

    Works for nearly all quakes.

    lots of research into hypersonic craft nowadays, I've heard (no pun intended...)

    My favorite is people whose reply to someone else is, "your an [insult]!"

    I want the no timing limit back for editing your post. I catch my grammar mistakes too late to do anything about them. :(

    Tinker AFB, look at their N/S runway. Perfect placement to explain the sonic booms. They are not admitting to it, but they are clearly flying something very fast to test the engines.

    I understand;;; I fell into the rut of thinking that
    the military was "we" ... since I'm retired usaf,
    it's a problem. -- j

    I guess it is about time for him to start tuning up, if he's there at all.

    If true, I only hope "we" have them as opposed to the government having them. Our nation's decline began when the government became better armed than the average person.

    You can tell people who rely on spell-checkers because they're always using the wrong homonym.

    stuff like this doesn't happen without a cause;;;
    I would speculate that we have a classified military
    program in progress, involving superfast somethings
    which we can only guess about. . I hope so!!! we
    need supersonic drones or remotely piloted aircraft,
    if we don't already have them. -- j

    This is most likely super sonic aircraft. We had the identical events a few years ago, and back in the 70's here in the northeast, and both times, it was top secret recon missions using spy planes that were breaking the sound barrier.

    The intervals sound like there are several planes launching at the same time.

    It would be interesting to see the radar hits for the area and the real time satellite feeds.

    I used to see live feeds from satellites over the U.S. in the NOC and we would occasionally see streaks above the clouds leaving a trail.

    We knew what they were, but knew better than to say anything.

    It would be helpful to know the duration of the events. Every 40 - 60 seconds, but for how long? And at the same time of day?
