It  had thunder of a sonic boom, resident says
BY DON WALKER
FLORIDA  TODAY
April 11, 2007

The explosion was heard miles away.

At  Pineda Crossing, near the Suntree subdivision, John Panik said he  was
having trouble sleeping, got out of bed and turned on the  television
just before 3 a.m.

"I was sitting there and suddenly  there was a loud boom," Panik said.
"It shook the windows - not like a big  rattle, but a little one. I
thought, 'That's not normal.'"

The clock  read 3:30 a.m. Panik called the Brevard County Sheriff's
Office, and was  told by dispatcher they'd send a deputy out to check out
the area. He also  contacted Patrick Air Force Base, and was told they
didn't know anything  about it.

"I thought it was a sonic boom," he said. "That's what I told  the
sheriff. Like the shuttle returning, but usually you hear two booms,  not
one."

This morning, reports of the explosion were all over the  television.

"Everybody freaked out. My wife said, 'Oh, you did hear  something,'"
Panik said.
