It really makes you wonder what’s going on.

I can hear booms in the evening here too, supposedly the cadets and their artillery training at West Point about 20 miles north of me.

Transitory excretions past the ‘sound barrier’

So-called ‘sprint’ testing of the Delta blimp.

It must have something to do with aliens.
Just has to be aliens from outer space.
That guy on the History Channel says so.
Fox Mulder believes it too.

1850 short story by James Fenimore Cooper talked about this.

The Lake Gun

by

James Fenimore Cooper

“The “Lake Gun” is a mystery. It is a sound resembling the explosion of a heavy piece of artillery, that can be accounted for by none of the known laws of nature. The report is deep, hollow, distant, and imposing. The lake seems to be speaking to the surrounding hills, which send back the echoes of its voice in accurate reply. No satisfactory theory has ever been broached to explain these noises. Conjectures have been hazarded about chasms, and the escape of compressed air by the sudden admission of water; but all this is talking at random, and has probably no foundation in truth. The most that can be said is, that such sounds are heard, though at long intervals, and that no one as yet has succeeded in ascertaining their cause.”

I assume these booms in Philly are more ground-based and localized.

Set out some sensors and do some triangulating.

Another story on strange booms from last month =>

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3649665/posts

Youtube from that thread => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnmqcBETmPU

Some on the thread thought it was a “hail cannon” or a “geese suppression cannon”.

The Feds have all these triangulation assets, and it’d take just one single evening to get within a mile of the ‘booms’. My guess is that someone is running a ‘wildcat’ mining operation, without any approval process.
