2nd Loud Boom Rattles Windows in NY Suburb

There's been another loud "boom." This time it rattled windows in parts of Rockland County.

Nanuet resident Keith Wallenstein said the mysterious noise woke him up at about 5:15 Monday morning and sounded like someone had flown an F-16 over his house.

An earlier loud "boom" heard in Westchester County early Saturday might have been a meteorite.

Anyone know what's going on here? I've read about shaking in California, shaking in Australia, and now "booms", or shaking in New York. There has been lots of reports of brightly streaking objects in the skies recently, ones that don't seem to be intelligently controlled vessels, possibly meteors? Are debris still falling from the two crashed satellites?

I find it interesting.

It could very likely be debris falling the satellites. Although, I don't think that they would make homes shake. I hadn't heard anything about booms and shaking at all. When did the first boom happen in New York?

From what I can see in the article, the first "boom" happened Saturday around midnight, correlating to a sighting of a bright object streaking across the sky.

The second boom occurred early Monday morning.

Unlikely...

COSMOS IS FALLING: The first fragments of shattered satellite Cosmos 2251 are about to reenter Earth's atmosphere. According to US Strategic Command, fragment 1993-036PX will reenter on March 12th, followed by 1993-036KW on March 28th and 1993-036MC on March 30th. These are probably centimeter-sized pieces that will disintegrate in the atmosphere, posing no threat to people on the ground.

Anyway, most of the debris is so small it would not make it far enough into the atmosphere before being completely consumed to make any sonic booms. An outside possibility at best IMO.

Correct in this case, although in cases where large peices of debris survive reentry and create sonic booms, those booms would easily be capable of making homes shake.

If I had to guess, I'd say small meteors. Either that or somebody is digging a big hole for their fallout bunker.
