Boom Again? Residents Report Boom Or Explosion For Second Day
February 24, 2010
A “boom” or explosion was felt or heard across a portion of Escambia County from Walnut Hill to Pensacola again Wednesday afternoon, the second afternoon in the row.
There were no reports of explosions or other situations that would have caused the rattle. Real-time earthquake data from the U.S. Geological Survey did not show any seismic activity in our area.
So far, the Air Force and Navy still say they did not create the boom.
Several 911 callers in the Pensacola area reported large explosions Wednesday afternoon.

It happened at around 745 last night. I live on the border of Gulf Breeze and Navarre. There were 2 booms back to back then a flash in the sky. Only selected electronics shut off and turned back on. No lights or appliances shut off, just tv, satellite, and receiver, same in my sons room, all his electronics with the exception of his PS3. It completely reset my satellite receiver. His window was open and he said smelled a strange odor after it happened. My friend near by said it happened to her too but it rang her door bell. Odd stuff.
Jayyy…it could be..someone blew up the out house.
The same thing happens up here in Molino every once in a while; and its usually followed by a weird neighborhood-wide odour. Strange? I think so.
It could be some secret things going on over at the new nuclear power plant site near Christian Home, FL….
Guess I missed this, but hope to find out what it is soon…
Just heard and felt another boom….
Sherrie…i’ve been through Nanner fly and Two egg AL..but where the heck is Deatsville
I live in Deatsville, AL and I of course didn’t hear your boom, but I have heard the same loud boom twice in the past 2 years. Shook my house. Never found out what it was.
Heard and felt it at Bratt
There was a big *boom* here in Flomaton about noon today. The windows rattled. It came from the southwest. I thought maybe Kelly Brothers had blown up another tanker truck, then went back to work…
Been hearing them in Clarke County (AL) in recent weeks too
Nobody knows or admits to knowing. It must be hell expanding getting ready for the rapture. Church going up, lots of bad things going to happen it a moments time, Catch the ride up.
JESUS IS coming soon.
I have heard booms several times in Walnut Hill in the last 15 years, but didn’t hear these. I wasn’t home.
I think it is testing at NAS Pcola. These loud booms happen on a regular basis near the South side.. We are located near the base and hear the booms almost every week.. They are loud enough to make the building shake..
It was Chuck Norris kicking somebody.
ESP or any other natural gas company oe even Gulf power might be performing some routine maintenance on our natural
gas pipelines the area. As part of this work, you may hear a
particularly loud noise known as a “blowdown.”A blowdown is the act of releasing natural gas from a section of pipeline
so work can be done safely, like welding.
It becomes interesting to note that there is a natural gas pipeline about one mile north-northwest of the property purchased by Gulf Power on Roach Road for the future site of the nuclear power plant
It could be Roy Jones Jr. hitting the heavy bag in training for the Hopkins fight. Go Roy go, but keep the noise down. You’re scaring folks!!!
I heard it in Navarre on 2/23. I went outside to check my truck because it sounded like someone had slammed a car door loudly. It was kind of a cuncussion sound and the windows shook a little. I don’t think I would have noticed it but I was reading on the computer and the house was silent.
Wild Bill-
Good point , however…
It could’ve been a result of the government spending blowing by, too.
I heard it earlier here in Cottage Hill. It didn’t rattle the windows and the dogs didn’t even twitch. I was busy with household chores and couldn’t get on here until now and thought “Aha, so it wasn’t just my imagination, lol”.
I wonder what it is. Hope William lets us know soon.
I bet it was another Mother of all bombs being exploded in Eglin AFB Fort Walton, FL. There was two explosions a minute or two apart. This happened last summer but they warned everyone before the explosions.
Someone in authority should call Eglin AFB…
It was the sound of progress speeding past Escambia County. It has happened for several decades.
I’m with you JJ….I felt it again today at the same time. I got back on here to check cause I know William would let us know. How strange!!
so it happened again? and what time yesterday?
im in molion!
just heard and felt it. my trailer moved some side to side!! felt kinda weird!! hope to find out what it is soon!!
Just heard it again, I think. (Wednesday 3:08pm) Windows rattled…. here in Walnut Hill…
not her, me
i always figure it’s some did pilot in a navy jet having some fun. if so, enjoy
i missed it
I thought it could have been something to do with A(n) UFO or something like that
wow…what was it, i heard it too.
Just give William time and he will give us the scoop!!!
We lived in Orange Beach for 15 years. This was a common experience for us. Most of the time it had so much percussion, it rattled our windows. We never had any explanation from anyone. It was always denials. Janice
Look up HAARP on Google. I heard it to btw.
Yeah, I’m going to say sonic boom or Eglin testing out something new for the middle east…
I heard a boom once and the windows in my house shook twice and I live off Fairfield just a lil north of 98
We heard it in Cottage Hill, shook the whole house. I was inside my hubby was outside and he said it appeared to come from the S W direction.
A friend at the west end of Kingsfield had something simular last year, but it was utility workers “letting loose” a gas line. She said she thought they were being bombed and the whole ground shook.
Could it have been something like that?
was it around 3-4pm? I did not hear anything, but my dog who never comes in except when its storming was SCRATCHING at the door?????
I heard it while i was at school going to my seventh period class! I thought something might have hit the school! I’d really like to know what it was!
Probably a sonic boom! I didn’t feel it though.
we heard them in walnut hill friday probly 4 times.. you could feel the boom
Didn’t hear the boom but all the windows in the house shook.
I am in the Warrington area near Pensacola Golf and Country Club and I heard the explosion here.
I’m in Cottage Hill just north of the paper mill. I heard it twice, the second time it shook my house and made all the dogs start barking. Wish I knew what it was…
I heard and felt it too.
I am in Ferry Pass and heard it here. It startled me. It sounded
like an explosion !
I was wondering if I was just crazy. I got on here to check. Thanks William for confirming that I’m not….
