Too funny I did not know what it was either, thought someone ran into one of our bay doors!

Yes, I heard it too. Had just started my lawnmower and heard the huge boom and thought, "OMG, this thing's gonna blow." Thankfully, a neighbor alerted me to the "real" reason for the big boom!!

sounds like someone shooting a high powered rifle nearby when it happens. Used to get them all the time right across the state from Kennedy Space Center, but it seems to come in from Naples, Ft. Myers area now.

Yeah... didn't hear anything here in New Hampshire :). I did, however, see the shuttle / space station a few nights ago along with many meteor showers.

I have heard the sonic boom-boom before in Florida about a few years ago while on a sand bar on the west coast in FL. Very cool. Glad they made it home safely

Too funny I did not know what it was either, thought someone ran into one of our bay doors!Ha lol, thats exactly what it sounded like, was like somebody ran full speed into my garage or a tree hit the house. I was in the computer room and actually jumped lol, went outside and nobody was there, was like ###?!?!. Damn shuttle must have come directly over us b/c it was LOUD.

I live in Melbourne and the last time the shuttle landed it sounded like a dumpster dropped on the roof of my house. My dog and I both jumped at the same time. It only takes me about 30 minutes to drive to Kennedy Space Center, so it's pretty close. I've watched the last two shuttle launches from my backyard :))

You guys are all more than welcome to pop by. I might put you to work cleaning the Vette, though ;)

Night launches are amazing, by the way!
