An authorized Defense Department plane caused a sonic boom heard across the D.C. region Sunday afternoon, officials in Maryland said.

The sonic boom was related to an incident involving a Cessna that crashed in Virginia, three people with knowledge of the situation said. Two of them said the Cessna was unresponsive when hailed by authorities, causing F-16 jets to scramble from Joint Base Andrews.


Officials from Annapolis and Bowie both said on Twitter that it was caused by a Defense Department flight.

“The loud boom that was heard across the DMV area was caused by an authorized DOD flight. This flight caused a sonic boom. That is all the information available at this time,” according to a statement by the Annapolis Office of Emergency Management.

Officials in Bowie said they “confirmed that the loud boom heard in Bowie was a sonic boom from a plane out of Joint Base Andrews.”

A media representative for Joint Base Andrews could not say what caused the boom but suggested the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) would know. NORAD did not immediately respond to calls and an email.

The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that a Cessna Citation jet crashed near Montebello, Va., around 3:30 p.m. Sunday.

The aircraft had taken off from Elizabethton Municipal Airport in Elizabethton, Tenn., and was bound for Long Island MacArthur Airport in New York, the FAA said.

The FAA said the National tr@nsportation Safety Board would lead the investigation into the crash. The board did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Data from flight tracking service Flightradar24 shows a plane matching the Citation’s description and flight path reaching Long Island before turning around. The plane flew directly over Washington before the data ends near Staunton, Va.

crazy, so it was going to intercept/shoot down an unresponsive cessna that ended up crashing in the mountains, didn't some idiot get arrested for letting his plane crash and pretending it was failing and he had to jump but the whole thing was staged?

dude planned it for youtube clout and ended up getting caught. wonder if the same type of sh1t here as well

Wasn't a sonic boom bro. You have to put the blunt down. What you were experiencing was an auditory hallucination due to psychosis. Over intoxication of THC from the marijuana causes psychosis.

Them sh1ts use to go off like switches in Afghanistan.

Was wondering what that boom was

I’m at a graduation cookout and we though it was some type of random lightning

That "boom" is why flights from the eastcoast to the westcoast take 6hrs
