Sonic booms over Washington are rare -- like never -- hence worth remarking on, hence this posting. -- Charles Packer http://cpacker.org/whatnews mailboxATcpacker.org 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. -- Charles Packer http://cpacker.org/whatnews mailboxATcpacker.org
