What's Making All that Noise?
WSFA TV (Montgomery, Alabama)
April 5, 2006

WSFA News 12 has been inundated with calls this morning about a loud
bang in the Montgomery area.

Reports from callers say houses and windows shook just before 7 a.m.
with what some have described as a something similar to a sonic boom.

Calls came in from a variety of areas in the city including the Harrison
Road, Selbrook, Birmingham Highway, and Fisk Road areas.

At first it was thought maybe an aircraft coming in for the Maxwell AFB
air show had something to do with it, but according to Maxwell AFB they
have received similar cars and do not know what may have caused the loud
noise.

The Montgomery Police Department has also received calls and as yet has
no answer as to what the noise was.

Some folks think the sound is related to the Prattville fire; however, a
check with the Prattville Fire Department says no, it didn't come from
their area.
