Paul Carusol, a seismologist with United State Geological Services, said the agency saw a spike on its seismometers.
Don Blakeman, another seismologist with the agency, said analysts with USGS do not believe there was an earthquake.
When asked whether jets could cause some kind of sonic boom and show up on the agency's monitors, Blakeman said it's possible. Over the years people from Virginia and the Carolinas have called USGS thinking there was an earthquake, which Blakeman said turned out to be a sonic boom caused by military activity.

An unusual sight was spotted in Cork skies last night when a meteorite was filmed blazing through the sky before it had even gone dark.
Footage shared on Twitter last night shows the fireball blasting across the Cork skyline while it was still bright.
The video was taken in Ballinhassig at around 9:26pm with experts saying it would be unusual for it to be a meteorite so early in the night.
Earlier today, a meteor flew through the skies of California. Tens of people in California saw the meteor, most of those around the San Francisco area. Witnesses flocked to the International Meteor Organisation (IMO) to report their sighting.
Some were concerned that it was going to make land surface - which it did not.
A person named Cole told the IMO: "It was extremely close looking compared to any other meteor-like object I've observed and was headed towards the direction of Briones Reservoir.
"Could've touched down not too far from my location but am unsure. Very visible fragmentation."
