COURT HOUSE – Residents across South Jersey once again felt widespread shaking around 10:30 a.m. Oct. 25.
Patrick Gordon, public affairs officer from Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, told The Press of Atlantic City the state did not have any aircraft flying in the area this morning.
Cape May County felt similar tremors Jan. 4 of this year, and Jan. 28 and Dec. 1 of last year, which turned out to be sonic booms from flight testing from the naval station.
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is not reporting any earthquake activity in the area.
A Press of Atlantic City report cites a possible explanation is that an inversion is able to magnify sound from aircraft miles away. According to Meteorologist Joe Martucci, an inversion occurs when a layer of warmer air sits over a layer of cooler air. Sound is easier to travel during warmer air.
