A series of no less than nine sonic booms rocked New Jersey on Thursday afternoon. Initially thought to be earthquake tremors, the US Navy reported that the booms may have been caused by flight testing.

At about 1:24 yesterday afternoon, people along the East Coast reported feeling tremors over the course of ninety minutes. Officials now know the shaking may have been caused by fighter jets.

People from as far away as Connecticut called local law enforcement agencies to report the booms, which many thought to be earthquake tremors.

Many individuals also used social media, such as Twitter, to report on the shaking they felt.
