THE US has been rocked by a mysterious boom that rattled over New Orleans, leaving residents baffled by the peculiar incident.
It sparked a frenzy of independent reports, some even speculated that it could have been a meteorite explosion. New Orleans residents flocked to social media to explain their confusion about the unexplained boom. The boom is said to have rattled windows and shook homes across the city. This is despite no current indications that anything exploded, or that a natural disaster has happened.
Fire crews are now investigating the baffling sound, but as evidence on the ground remains scarce, many suspect a meteorite was the cause.
Earlier this month, MEAWW reported that a meteor explosion equivalent to 30 Tons of TNT shocked residents in Pittsburgh, USA, on the first day of 2022.
A loud boom reportedly rattled across the city, leaving residents startled.
NASA later revealed the event was a meteor explosion.
The meteor was travelling above the earth at about 45,000 miles per hour.
Julie O'Donoughue, from Louisiana Illuminator, wrote on Twitter after the New Orleans boom: "It seems like folks in all corners of New Orleans heard an explosion. Hope all is ok.
Van Applegate, an Emmy winning photojournalist, wrote: "Multiple reports of extremely loud explosion heard in New Orleans.
“Fire crews were dispatched to investigate - nothing evident, yet. But very loud. Heard across most of the city.
"Nothing evident from fire search. Likely a meteor somewhere off the coast. Nothing evident on doppler.”
And the incident also sparked a furious debate on the plafotrm.
One user commented: “There was an explosion in Mexico at the exact same time as this mysterious explosion that was heard in New Orleans. Makes no sense. Something that’s moving really fast.
But another countered: “If that was the noise New Orleans heard then all of Texas, Louisiana and Mexico and Mississippi and Arkansas would also report it, not to mention the seismic disturbance it would have caused and the sheer magnitude of the blast for the sound wave to travel that far.”
Another user pointed out that the incident reminded them of when Elon Musk’s SpaceX rocket created a sonic boom in Florida back in October.
The user wrote: This New Orleans thing reminds me of SpaceX’s re-entry a few months ago.
“Rocked homes all over Florida and also turned off a few of my outside lights. If there’s no explosion, maybe it was something similar?”
Florida residents heard a mighty sonic boom when the SpaceX Dragon 2 spacecraft successfully splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean.
Just like the New Orleans boom, residents also reported houses shaking.
The phenomenon occurred as corresponded with shockwaves, created when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound.
The arrival of Mr Musk’s Cargo Dragon capsule meant SpaceX's 23rd commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station was complete.
The spacecraft was stationed in space for about a month before returning back to Earth. nonstop news
