What was that? Many Valley residents reported shaking and loud booms on Thursday night.
Dear AZ, was that an earthquake? @abc15

โ€” Deborah Geesling (@deborahgeesling) March 3, 2017
The United States Geological Survey has not reported any earthquakes in Arizona in the past 24 hours. So the question must be raised...what was it and how did so many people around the Valley feel it?

The Arizona Geological Survey said they could not identify any large earthquakes in the area. It is possible there was a very small earthquake that occurred and it was not detectable.

Scottsdale resident Maria Rodriguez said she felt the shaking from her home. "We felt the doors shake, like somebody was trying to push them in, but we didn't see the doors move," Rodriguez said.

Luke Air Force Base said they do not have any information about sonic booms in the area. Air Force captain Becky Heyse said there was an aircraft flying around 8:30 p.m. Thursday, but it was "unlikely" the jet caused a sonic boom in the northeast Valley because they were flying 60 miles west of Glendale.

Research geologist Jeri Young said there weren't any signs of a earthquake in the Valley. "There were some signatures of maybe a man-made disturbance," Young said. "We can't really say where it occurred or what it was based on our equipment."

Mystery boom shakes windows, doors in Phoenix, Arizona

People across the Valley reported a loud booming noise and mysterious shaking of their windows and doors last night.

Some took to Twitter, believing it was an earthquake. But the US Geological Survey reports no earthquakes of any magnitude for at least the last seven days.

Aviation experts said a high-altitude sonic boom could sound like a low rumble. Civilian aircraft are prohibited from flying at supersonic speeds over the continental U.S., but military aircraft are allowed to break the sound barrier.

However, most of the reports of loud booms were centered in the north Valley. According to airspace charts, commercial planes come into Phoenix from that direction, but some military training routes cross them at varying altitudes.

So far, no agency has admitted to flying at supersonic speeds over Arizona. A last possibility could be a meteor exploding at high altitudes.

Louisiana sheriff's office investigating reports of loud house-shaking boom

Mystery boom
Natchitoches officials are searching for an explanation for a loud boom that nearly four dozen residents say shook their homes.

The parish's 911 call center received about 50 calls reporting the loud boom just before noon Saturday, the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff's Office reports. Most callers said that they felt their houses shake and that windows, pictures on the wall and dishes shook as well, Sheriff Victor Jones said.

Deputies who went to areas of the parish where the boom was heard were unable to pinpoint an exact location.

"Over the course of the last week, U.S. Forest Service has been conducting numerous control burns in south Natchitoches Parish consisting of several thousand acres which have caused smoke haze in the area," sheriff's Capt. Tony Moran said. That wouldn't explain the noise.

And Fort Polk officials said no military training operations were being held at Peason Ridge.

Comment: On Sunday evening a loud boom and fireball were reported in nearby Texas.
