Reports Report 4358b (Event 4358-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Andy T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I really don't think this is highway noise, and I looked at a flight map which showed only two commercial planes flying quite far away at the time so I doubt it's a jet. The booms don't sound like fireworks the kids set off on my street a few weeks ago, so my only next though was a sonic boom! |
