 This OT Success Story provides an, errr, *interesting* alternative
explanation to the phenomenon of the sonic boom...

 ----------

 I was in my office on the 11th floor of our building when I heard the
Concord [sic] (jet) going over above. I looked out the window and saw
the plane flying low to the north. The weather was warm and mildly
cloudy. About five minutes later, while still in my office, I became
aware of a mass one quarter mile up in the sky. I looked out but could
see nothing.

 After I sat down again, my awareness of the mass continued so I put a
beam up towards it. A thunderous explosion followed and I received a
tremendous return flow along the beam, which lifted my body at least six
inches out of the chair. My secretary came running through to tell me
some fool must be dynamiting in the centre of the city and near our
building at that.

 Later that same evening in the Foundation Org, someone mentioned that they
had heard a crash like thunder and the time but on looking out the window
could not see any rain clouds. They work on the other side of town and were
still puzzled by the bang.

 No doubt some kind of ridge had built up, and on my poking a beam into it,
it had become unbalanced and dramatically dispersed.

  Woke up the city nicely and caused me to chuckle no end.
