As an old flight test type, my humble try:

The T-38s at the cape must undergo a functional flight check each time major flight components are worked on. This check includes a supersonic run. I would imagine that the supersonic flight corridor for Patrick AFB is somewhere just off the coast. Methinks that the atmospheric conditions that day allowed the boom to be heard.

The test pilot must log position and time of each supersonic run and these logs should be avail via base ops.

Obama playing Golf?

This last Summer we heard two sonic booms about two seconds apart here in western Washington. Found out later that because Obama was in Seattle, they maintained a protected air space over the city, in which a private plane entered. Two fighters scrabbled up from Portland Oregon.

Sonic boom-like sounds are not unusual along the East Coast. We have them in Northern Virginia fairly regularly ~ they come mostly from small very localized earthquakes. This last October we had one big enough to crack pavement in fact. We had some in December and February as well but they didn’t break anything.
