Hi guys just wondering if anyone caught what caused the sonic boom over the hunter valley early this week? Reports are saying meteorite but I am yet to see any photo evidence. There has been a few earth quakes around Muswellbrook over the last few weeks. I was outside at the time and heared what sounded like thunder, i knew no storms were around as I checked only minutes before.

Didn't think they are allowed to break the sount barrier over urban areas. I didn't hear the usual fighter jet sounds before or after the boom, have only read reports of a meteorite on facebook.

Hi Daine I did see in the Newcastle herald on Tuesday I think about the meteor and that a few people heard a sonic boom ,what time and day were you outside,i had some strange jumps on phd on Monday night that I couldn't explain I was out in the observatory doing a photo run and went out to look and I had this huge jump on a very flat guiding
