The Oklahoma Geological Survey said they were still trying to figure out what had happened.

2. one of comments was about Travis AFB

could have been a sonic boom-one person that it sounded like onee

6. Travis AFB is in Northern California

The TAFB comment may be referring to Tinker Air Force Base located outside Oklahoma City.

14. Tinker Air force Base is in Midwest City

I made a mistake of renting a place about 500 Meters from the engine test stands. Those make the ground shake too.

I know that town well.

19. Midwest City is adjacent to Oklahoma City, No?

And I thought my shop located half a mile from Aerojet was bad!

17. oops

LOL

3. It might have been a meteor breaking up in the atmosphere!

I understand that there are several events like this every year. This came out when NASA did a report on asteroid near-misses. Meteors causing these booms are just under the size that might cause damage on the surface of the earth.

11. Alien craft coming out of hyperspace

[Tansy_Gold]

12. Which would tie in with the Utah army base closure.

They've got alien bodies there, I just know it. Maybe one of 'em wasn't dead and woke up and got loose?











:rofl:

13. but it made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs !

btw, That's no moon!....

[Joanne98]

15. ANCIENT Alien craft.

[freshwest]

18. That's my take. At least I hope it is. What a refreshing turn of events.

I think the Hopi have predicted something along these lines.

Just hope it's not the reptilians coming back for another planetary smorgasbord again.

Although on the other hand, it might not be that bad if they eat as fast as those Jurassic Park raptors.

Oh, well, it's always something.


:woohoo:

[hedgehog]

20. So, any idea what happened?
