UPDATE ON SONIC BOOMS EARLIER TODAY… I’ve searched far and wide for any sources that may have caused widespread sonic booms heard and felt across south Alabama and northwest Florida earlier today. The U.S. Geological Survey has no indication of any earthquakes in the area at the times the booms happened. Based on the pattern, I don’t believe these booms were geologic in nature. The prevailing theory at this point is military aircraft testing over the northern Gulf caused the booms, but that’s simply the best explanation I have at this point. Thank you to everyone who posted your experience today. It is helpful to get an idea for where the booms were heard and felt across the region. Hope you have a great evening!
