WFMY News 2 is continuing to reach out to officials about the "booms," and this article will be updated as we learn more.
In terms of location, viewers reported hearing the sounds in Forsyth, Yadkin, Stokes, Davie, Rockingham, and Surry counties.
On social media, descriptions of the boom's impact range from simply hearing the noises to people's homes shaking. Viewers shared what they heard on the WFMY News 2 Facebook page.
We have had several messages on this incident and after discussing it with several local authorities we think this is the possibility of a sonic boom from an aircraft. Local authorities have nothing to report on the incident.
The "boom" was heard throughout Pickaway county, East Fairfield county and Northern Ross county.
According to the Norwegian Seismic Array (NORSAR) website infrasound stations on Løten registered signals from the meteor which was heard by people living in Ullensaker.
The Norwegian Meteor Network / Solar Observatory at Harestua recorded the event:
Wow, what a shot!
