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. -- Charles Packer http://cpacker.org/whatnews mailboxATcpacker.org |

He, and the RNC, have a clue alright. They simply have no regard for our nation's public image, the environment, or the welfare of the people of our nation, or indeed their future nor the plight of humanity in general, for he/they are the spokesman of heartless entities, corporations. They know exactly what they want, and how to get it. Their hubris is so unconscionable, that it's incomprehensible to decent people. It is the American people who don't have a clue of the RNC's audacious and inhumane agenda, IMO. |

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. |

Right, that one would have carried at least as far as points west of the Mississippi. |

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. -- Charles Packer http://cpacker.org/whatnews mailboxATcpacker.org |

They needed a "monkey-boy" and they got a good one. They also assembled a crack team of criminals in the background. It was masterful.

I notice that metal knives and forks are only available to first class terrorists... cattle class terrorists will have to make do with broken bottles. The next terror threat is already well entrenched in the form of AGW... Cheers Cheers |
