NIXA, Mo. -- Law enforcement officers and firefighters searched 
but didn't find the source of a loud noise on Tuesday night. People 
who heard it around 9:45 said it sounded like an explosion, very 
close thunder or a sonic boom.

The Christian County Sheriff's Department says Nixa police, Nixa 
firefighters and sheriff's deputies checked different areas in and 
around Nixa but didn't find anything. The noise prompted many calls 
to emergency dispatchers. Some people said it woke them up and 
shook their homes. One caller said a picture fell off a wall.

Nixa police say echoes from the fireworks after the Springfield 
Cardinals baseball game could have caused the rumbling.
