Details of Incident:
11:00 PM I work at home in my basement. Went upstairs to get a snack & watch a little Jay Leno. Got 
ready to go downstairs. Heard a rumbling noise that made me curious but had lots of computer work to 
do so I didn't go outside to investigate. I work at my computer with ear phones listening to music. 
Vaguely aware that the rumbling noise was louder and vibrating the house. My wife was helping our 
youngest son with his homework. They were on the 2nd floor. My wife called me on the phone and said I 
should come up and figure out what was making noise. By the time I came up stairs the noise suddenly 
stopped. My 15 yr old daughter came out of her bedroom where she had just turned out the lights to go 
to bed. The noise was so loud that she thought she would look our her window. She said Holy S**t I 
think I just saw a meteor. She described a light as big as a basket ball twice the height of trees 
flash across the sky. As soon as she saw the light the noise stopped abruptly. My wife's ears were 
hurting because of the loud noise. She had the sensation that it was passing slowly over our house 
from a SW to NE direction. The next day I talked to several neighbors who all reported hearing the 
loud sound. One of our neighbors looked out the door and didn't see anything but said the sound was 
deafening and frightened her shaking the whole house. Another neighbor said she went all the way out 
to her drive way and looked up in the sky (clear night) and saw no lights but couldn't figure out 
what was making such a loud noise (like a squadron of jumbo jets.) Two weeks later I talked to a 
friend about the noise and him and his wife said they heard something just like I described on that 
same night. My friend lives about 5 miles SW of where I live. I called the airport. They said they 
were testing engines at about that time. But I hear them testing engines all the time. Seldom more 
than 2 or 3 minutes at a time. Since Mitchell International Airport is 3 miles away the sound never is 
very loud.
