Source of boom heard in Christian County is a mystery

August 30, 2006

NIXA, Mo. -- Law enforcement officers and firefighters searched
but didn't find the source of a loud noise on Tuesday night. People
who heard it around 9:45 said it sounded like an explosion, very
close thunder or a sonic boom.

The Christian County Sheriff's Department says Nixa police, Nixa
firefighters and sheriff's deputies checked different areas in and
around Nixa but didn't find anything. The noise prompted many calls
to emergency dispatchers. Some people said it woke them up and
shook their homes. One caller said a picture fell off a wall.

Nixa police say echoes from the fireworks after the Springfield
Cardinals baseball game could have caused the rumbling.
