Interesting things too

Yeah possibly @TS. Been no sign of any aircraft lately though and we're out of most flightpaths down here. And it was felt over an area of about 100kms...all on the coastal fringe, same kinda experience from all reports, a large thunder like boom but like i said, it felt more like a shock impact against the house, as if a tree had fallen on it or something.
Couldn't rule that out sonic boom theory out though, except sceptical about it due to zero aircraft activity around here lately...apart from the odd cessna!

Sonic boom from some sort of aircraft training exercise maybe?

Edit. seems the Singaporean government has form.

Just saw you're edit.
Yeah wow. So, wouldn't be far fetched to imagine it's Chinese military exercises to the south of here. Exactly the same kind of bang.
Geeez they've got some powerful toys if that's the case. Gotta wonder what the fuck that does to all the creatures living in the ocean off here. Insert next mass whale stranding. Might keep the pointers away for a week or two at least.

Fucking military aircraft way offshore are total pricks (RAAF) . I've had the bastards fly so low over boats you can see the farkers helmets. If there's a group of you, they'll line you all up and strafe you for mock target practice. I've heard a couple of sonic booms out there and how they didn't shatter the windows I'll never know. Certainly puts the wind up ya.
By the time you stick the middle finger up, which at that altitude they would clearly see, the pricks are halfway to Townsville.
Utter bastards.

Cheers for the headsup on the sonic chronic TS! I'll sleep a little better and won't be checking for reds under the bed, for tonight at least! haha.
Bloody hell what pricks! Probably do the same if i was a wanker in a high powered machine i guess. Hope ya well mate!!

haha cheers SR. you too.
I would too if I could. Damn flyboys.

I’ve never heard this story. You’d have to excuse this flyboys final boom. What a way to go!
