What I heard was that some of the loud sounds were explosions and some were sonic booms. I don't think anyone has solid info. One story was that the military was doing serious testing and taking measurements and another story was that it was just pilots fooling around and showing off. If they were doing testing, then it was planned in advance and there should have been advance warning to the public. If it was just pilots showing off, then it was totally unacceptable and personnel should be the subject of disciplinary action. In any case, according to the various stories I heard, more than a few people were startled and more than a few children were seriously frightened. I guess this goes to prove that "military intelligence" really is an oxymoron!
