Sonic booms???

[Outnumbered]

Any AZ peeps hear a series of "thunder-like" sonic booms around 9:30 tonight? It sounded like a t-storm was coming through. No clouds in the sky though. :hammer2: :idea:

We live close to Luke but they never fly SS around the houses. Been here about 3 years and have never heard a boom.

They had fire works going off earlier around the Surprise stadium. That probably doesn't help though, just saying..... :p :)

Even in this wind? Maybe the wind carried the sound up here to N. Peoria?

I live just N.E. of you in Beautiful AZ Estates..I heard them coming from the White Tanks. I thought they were blasting up in there. :crossx:

While it is unusual, there have been instances recorded of lightning without any clouds, and thus thunder is a possibility. A few explanitory tidbits I just dug up.
Llightning can strike as far as sixteen kilometers away from any rainfall.
Lightning can also travel sideways for up to the same distance.
That would be 9 3/4 miles.
At least ten percent of lightning happens without clouds in the sky.
10% is more than I would have thought but I'll go with the USFS on it.

Sorry, me and the kids went to the Avi and bought some fireworks :rolleyes:

I was looking out the window for some lightning strikes. Nothing. Had to be some fast moving aircraft or maybe a meteor that got a little close? Even small ones can make some noise.

It was me, sorry had a tough steak at Rod's, hope it didnt smell!!!

Hear them every day where I work. I don't think you would hear a series of them for a period of 15 minutes unless there was a sh!t load of planes in the sky that were all booming outside the high speed corridor. I think some heads might roll for something like that. We have boomed Laughlin area a few times as the high speed corridor runs all the way to the river and sometimes the plane just doesn't slow down fast enough :crossx:

They only lasted about a minute or two from where I was. It sounded like a small t-storm was passing through. Where is the high-speed corridor?

[Desert Rat]

Main corridor runs from Edwards AFB east to the river
