Meteorolgists are investigating and trying to explain widespread reports on the Eastern Seaboard of flashing lights and a noise that sounded like a loud explosion in the sky last night. A spokesman for Virginia Beach police said the city's emergency call center received dozens of calls shortly after 9:30 p.m. Sunday reporting "a loud explosion, like a 'boom,' that rattled their windows." He said several of the callers also described a bright flash of light accompanying the sound. The National Weather Service received similar reports along the East Coast along the Eastern Shore and into Maryland around the same time. There have been no reports of damage, and meteorologists from the National Weather Service office in Wakefield said there was no immediate explanation for the reports.

We had the same thing here Saturday night. Even the sound of the rain didn’t drown it out.

Seemingly a lot of “signs in the sky” recently.

Swamp gas, nothing to see here.

I heard about it this morning, on the radio. I was watching TV last night about this time and saw and heard nothing. But then it is so quiet out where I live I doubt I would hear a nuclear explosion.

I want to believe!!!!
I am not a UFO guy. I thought it was interesting.
Another "strange" light show near a military (several) base. Of course all branches of the military are denying anything.
However our phones in the office are not working today. HMMMM.

Yeah, and what about those strange lights in the sky out by the airport?.... Or those truck-like noises coming from down by the highway?!....

I wasn't expecting it, though it was forecast.
I was siting in my recliner, watching the tube, when...BOOM. My dog jumped twice as high as I, and wouldn't shut up. Almost needed to check my drawers!

” However our phones in the office are not working today.”
Obama is busy installing his “capitalist reporting and protection” (C.R.A.P.) hardware on your phone lines. They will be returned to you shortly.

Same type of incident last week in Augusta GA
