A big boom over Washington D.C.around 9:30-10:00PM EDT
tonight (Friday, June 20) must have been the sonic variety.
Sonic booms over Washington are rare -- like never -- hence
worth remarking on, hence this posting.

What parts exactly? *Can you pin it down to a specific locale?

"Never"? *No. *They're rare but not unheard of (no pun intended). *It may have been some
post-9/11 air defense exercises. *That's assuming that it really was the sound of an
aircraft breaking the sound barrier.

I'm located in Northeast D.C. about four miles east of the Capitol.
There wasn't anything in the Washington Post about this the next
day. However, the Post does mention when air defense exercies are
held.
