Boom, it happened again.
Residents at the Oceanfront reported hearing a strange explosion around 9 p.m. Wednesday that rattled windows, shook foundations and startled babies out of their sleep.
It was the second time this year coastal residents have flooded emergency lines and online social networking sites after hearing and feeling ... well, something.
As with a previous mystery disturbance in May, nobody seems to know what happened, yet theories abound.
It wasn't another earthquake like the one that shook the East Coast in August, according to geologists. A NASA scientist said it could have been caused by a meteor crashing through the atmosphere, but there's no way of knowing without photographic proof. And military officials said don't blame them.
Oceana Naval Air Station spokeswoman Kelly Sterling felt and heard the boom at her home in Virginia Beach but said in an email it had nothing to do with jet noise or off-shore military exercises.

Do you think the sounds in OC could be related to the dredging/beach replenishment going on in South Bethany? Currently dredging
They may be pulling up more old Navy ordnance; that is then being disposed of. I remember that going on a few years back. They even found an unexploded anti-aircraft shell at Dewey beach and rockets at Assateague. Sourceedit on 11/15/2011 by Olivine because: spelling
