Yesterday around 3-3:30 PM.
It was possibly the loudest I've heard, almost as if the plane was flying right on top of my yard, but it was protracted: at its loudest it probably lasted like 20 sec and lingered for a couple of minutes, kind of contradicting the whole supersonic flight thingy, almost as if it was moving reeeally slow...
Yet we couldn't see any plane...
Anyone else noticed?

I was driving home from Denver about that time.. going way too fast trying to escape the city… maybe it was me and I was speeding too fast? If not, I’m confident BushmasterBoy will chime in shortly confirming it was aliens.

We had one of those on the East side of town last week... Nextdoor folks were reporting it from as far south as the Pinery, all the way up through Aurora Reservoir.

Probably the mystical spy plane code named "Aurora".

It was just a cloud formation. Move along...

A little trivia about that Top Gun hypersonic plane prop:

China re-oriented spy satellites above the shooting of TOP GUN Maverick (https://www.airlive.net/china-re-oriented-spy-satellites-above-the-shooting-of-top-gun-maverick-here-is-why/)

I did some work for a guy that is an engineer at Boom Supersonic.

They are down in the tech center. They are building supersonic transports, although I don't think they are in production yet and certainly don't have FAA permission to haul ass over cities.

Bad weather in Las Vegas lately. Flood watch right now. No place to land.
