"a mysterious boom"

If they don't know what the boom is then why do they assert it to be mysterious? Hm?

"I really wish they would knock it off so we can stop jumping out of our skin”

Marissa should cry me a river.

Growing up under the pattern of a major SAC base during the mid cold war years, if the B-52s or KC-135s didn't drown out the conversation, something going supersonic did.

Until I was 7, I thought windows just cracked and had to be replaced.

The Lakehurst military base is nearby, but authorities don't think that's the source of the booms.

The ghost of the Hindenburg?

The Lakehurst military base is nearby

First off it's Lakehurst Naval Air Base. (idiot reporting.)

Secondly McGuire Air Force Base is just a few nautical miles south.

Hiking in the NJ Pine Barrens I often wondered about the zipping sound I would occasionally hear. Turned out it was Air Force Reserve firing off A10 rounds.

Down in Atlantic County there is another airfield that trains military cargo aircraft. Also Dover Delaware has air flight training.

These are sonic booms or the over enthusiastic pilot wagging wings for his family. Yes they do it. I saw one last week.
