An explosion or a sonic boom-like sound was heard in Orlando and other parts of Florida after a SpaceX rocket was launched there on Thursday, July 30.
Latest Update
“Just heard the sonic boom in central Florida!,” one person replied to SpaceX announcing the launch.
A person also added “I heard the boom at about 3:22AM just east of downtown Orlando and it was unusually loud for being so far away from the LZ.”
Several Florida residents reported hearing a ‘loud boom’ as the rocket took off. “Living in Florida is thinking someone is breaking into your house cause of a loud noise and the building shaking but it was actually a rocket launch causing a sonic boom at 3am oh awesome…,” one person remarked.
Another added “Classified satellite launch at 3:00 AM with a Return to Launch Site landing means Florida residents get a mandatory sonic boom alarm clock. Anything for national defense!”.
Yet another said, “just felt the…boom all the way in Palm Bay.” One person also added “TF? Anybody else hear that big boom in Florida?!?!?!”.
