    There was one night where the booms were hitting our little town for a straight hour, no break. I thought we were being bombed and almost slept with mom and dad.

    But it was reportedly heard in multiple states...that was my question...had anyone else heard that?

    Your mention is the first I have heard of it. What are your sources for other states having this? Just curious.

    She sure did know the Atlanta area well. Could have sworn she lived north of Atlanta somewhere.

    Yep. Used to hear them as a kid frequently. Overland supersonic commercial flights were banned in '73 due to all the complaints.

    Apparently you didn't see my question from earlier this morning. I thought you lived in the Atlanta area. You seemed to know a lot about it it. I thought you were north of Atlana somewhere.

    OKC was a test area for sonic booms when I was in junior high. They were a regular occurrence then.

    She did live in the Atlanta area but moved to Alabama after retirement several years ago.
