Greetings Meteorite Enthusiasts!

Long time no write!

Just yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) when I was out
picking apples in our orchard, my family and I heard
what we think to be a possible sonic boom. It was
heard at ~4:17 P.M. EDT which translates into ~20:17
UT. The sky at the time was unfortunately 98%+
overcast by clouds. I and my brother Matt thought it
came from the north, but my father thought it could
have come from the west, while others thought it
originated from directions elsewhere too. It did not
sound like any small type of gun shot or similar noise
but something of a larger nature, such as a jet or
FIREBALL. It was also heard at our house, roughly a
mile and a half from where we were at the farm, from
inside while a noisy washing machine was on. Sonic
booms "were" a common occurrence around these parts
from aircraft years ago.
  
Has anyone else heard this suspicious noise or have
seen it reported? Please tell!

Long strewn fields!
