Mystery boom puzzles Staten Island residents
Staten Island residents are trying to figure out what caused a loud boom that was heard in at least six neighborhoods.
The explosion-like blast rattled windows of homes at about 7:55 p.m. Monday. It could be heard for miles.
Police and firefighters responded to numerous calls to 911, but the loud noise remained a mystery on Tuesday.
Police say they found no explosion anywhere in the borough and Con Edison reported no outages or transformer explosions.
sonic boom from incoming whatever debris

THESE BOOMS ARE HEARD ALL OVER THE PLANET, SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR ON A MORE FREQUENT BASIS
IIRC, there was a similar event in TX a couple of weeks ago.
It was later said to be a meteorite.
Just wait till we're on the other side of it.

Yeah but this one had a fireball associated with it. That’s why I call sonic boom. The other booms and rattles sound like perhaps you got earthquakes a coming
Hey TaraP, you were saying...

—
I don’t know if you remember, but I was talking about that one before — and I was pointing out that this one is *not* a “noise” that one hears with the ears. It’s radio frequency and you cannot pick that up with your ears. No one will hear that one. Only scientists can “hear” that one (and notice that “hear” means with *instruments only*).
You have to be precise about these things if you’re going to report this kind of stuff going on. In fact, all this kind of thing needs to be analyzed very precisely, in each and every case — because just like the Air Force Bluebook project showed — the overwhelming majority of such reports are *always* explained by common things, once the details are known.
And then, you are left with a very few items that are “unexplained”. So, you can probably figure the same thing here that the vast majority of these kinds of reports can always be attributed to normal and ordinary things — once you know the facts of the case. The problem is — hardly anyone bothers with following them up anymore. So, really, all that is going on is a lot of reports that would be ordinary and explained, if anyone bothered taking the time with it — but who wants to, it would be too tedious to do that all the time...
A number of years ago my wife and I saw a fireball race across the sky one summer night. A minute later we heard the sonic boom. It was extraordinary.
Do you recall the noises that were produced in the San Francisco Bay a number of years back? I believe it turned out to be some kind of marine life...
