You remember that massive boom in Wilmington that was blamed on earthquake?

well, not sure what the world wide explanation is:

But most of the booms heard off of Wilmington - in fact from off Hilton head SC up to Outer banks are from jet fighters. There are about 4 different restricted air spaces off the coast of NC that Marine, navy and Air Force fighter jets use all the time for air to air combat training.

Also, 2 air corridors exist for fighter jets to transit from SC, GA and FL to bombing ranges in NC. One corridor runs via the coast (over Wilmington) and another further inland over Goldsboro. They go to Dare county and another one north east of Beaufort NC.

Just saying - some of the booms are indeed sonic booms and the military is not gonna own up to them willingly. Some of these areas are not cleared for supersonic flight - but pilots speed too.

I look up many nights and see between 4 and 8 flashing strobes headed NE at high speeds. I've seen them many times from my parents yard in Brunswick county. 23 years launching those jets at night - I know what the night formation lights look like.

Quit adding logic to the 2012 hysteria. :lol:

For yall Wilmingtonians, it must've been 5-6 years ago or so now, but does anybody else remember the big boom that killed off TONS of fish?

Like I walked down the sound side of Wrightsville, and the beach was blanketed in dead fish. You couldn't step without crunching one.

Did they ever find out what happened then? I though it was some military grade conspiracy or some sh*t.

They did... Panthro was taking a swim and let one rip.
