We have those booms at my house, too. So it’s real. And I don’t know where they’re coming from, so no one does.
Living on the fault line.
Reminds me of the Marfa Lights in TX. No one knows what causes them either.

what isn't these days?
Any military artillary gunfire ranges in the area? We get the same kind of booms here in south Orange County from Navy ships doing live fire practice on an island just off the coast. Depending on the wind and atmospheric conditions, they can be fairly loud.
These booms started in August of last year. Some people have claimed the noise sounded like trumpets, other people, in rural areas, say the sound resembles a busy interstate highway or freeway, even though no highway exists anywhere near their home.
The weird sounds in the sky have been reported throughout the U.S......in California, Maine, Tennessee, and many other states, and also in Hamburg, Germany; Keiv, Ukraine;
Australia, Costa Rica, etc. Seemingly, it’s been happening all over the world.
I heard one of these loud, rolling booms in Maine last March while I was home. People I know also heard the same sound, at the same time.
A few months later, it happened again. This time, I was in a small department store, and I heard a series of booms. An hour later, while sitting in the car in a parking lot, I heard them again. I haven’t heard them since.
Some people think the sounds are coming from the sky; others think the sounds are underground.
That jumped out at me too. The scope of it is getting really ugly.
Carrie....I live in wine country in Oregon and THEY USE cannons to scare birds in the fall.....so...I don’t know what planet you are on....sheesh.

It might be those black helicopters again.

“Living on a fault line” —— Exactly, EQ sound waves coming to the surface. Probably heard many times over but passed off as sonic booms, etc.
Lewis and Clarke wrote about these sounds at least twice in their journals. They said it sounds were like artillery in the distance.
Also the Marines at Camp Pendleton do artillery practice that can be heard up to 50 miles away.

Are there ever single booms, or do they always come in quick pairs?
Incidentally, only a little technology (that already exists) could answer the question. If a bunch of people recorded the booms, timestamped with the exact (GPS) time, and their location, the source of the sounds could be easily triangulated. Such isn’t beyond a population filled with smart phones and whatnot; all it would take is someone deciding to arrange it and a bunch of interested participants living in the area.
Possibly the booms are a Bigfoot mating call?
Perhaps leftist heads are exploding in the rare event they finally realize what their voting pattern has produced.
