Apparently, there was some sort of loud boom heard on the Northwest side of town tonight. Davis-Monthan Air Force Base says they weren’t responsible and there wasn’t an earthquake, so clearly social media panic has ensued and every local TV station will be leading the 10 pm news with live coverage in the dark saying basically nothing.
Of course, we have no real news either, but we are trying to get in touch with our boom correspondents, Tigra and Bunny. We’ll let you know what they are able to contribute when they get back to us.

missed the whole thing. I was watching a documentary about the Tar Sands Blockade, with loud equipment, all manner of booms and bangs.

Lol!!
Yeah, I was hooking up a car in my daddy’s garage…
There was definitely a vibration tonight! It felt like an earthquake. Why? Because, I didn’t think anything of it. I think I was the only one who felt it in the room and it seemed like something vibrating under the building.
Drone testing.
Where the hell are Scully & Mulder when you need them?
fantastic 🙂
rumors of falling debris after boom. Confirm?
That ‘boom thing’ is a result of that meteor explosion in Russia last mid-Feb. It took awhile to travel around the globe for the residual boom. http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/27/world/europe/russia-meteor/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
@Tiffany. Earthquakes sound and feel very different from the 2 or 3 (as variously reported) booms heard/felt last night. The event last night was very much above ground. My guess is some sort of secret recon flights, perhaps out of a certain AFB in Nevada…
Who cares?
That horrible song hasn’t aged well at all.
