Many reports of loud explosion or possible sonic boom near Annapolis.
See my above post. Seems there was a Alert Scramble near DC area. and Atlantic City F-16 COSMIC said he did
go supersonic over the Bay. Not sure if this was exercise or real deal. Sounded real to me
Last heard they are still holding with Guard Dog on 350.250 but real weak coms here.

PMARS --the regional public safety/mutual aid system - has had dispatchers from Gainesville to Annapolis to Quantico reporting the loud noise. Two minutes ago was a dispatcher saying it was a DOD aircraft going supersonic, but the location of the dispatcher was cut off.
A/R Res for Tomorow morning on AR-212 starting at 1430z-1730z both SW and NE at FL190-220.
A-10s like that 19k altitude A/R range
Thanks Mark. Sounds right for the hogs. Unfortunately, I'll be at work during that reservation on 212. Bummer.

Mark: thanks, just saw it as I was paging backward. USSS said it was a sonic boom. I didn't hear it though. Oh well.

Now unconfirmed reports of a plane down in Stauton, VA
The unresponsive part makes me think this was no exercise....

FAA: 
2 of the F16 out of AC just flew over heading back to AC.
"Crashed" with assistance me thinks.... It appears it was on auto pilot.
Listening to the Augusta County feed. Sounds like ground units are still trying to locate the crash. Some units are staging around milepost 23 of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
I was flying in the vicinity of KESN just outside the SFRA and listened to 3-5 minutes of attempts to contact N611VG on guard before I heard the intercept occur.
Pretty crazy to land and be asked if I heard the “boom” and then turn on the news to this.

Sonic Boom Heard Across DC Area; Homeland Security Says There Is ‘No Threat'
Multiple people told News4 and called law enforcement about a loud boom that shook residences all over the D.C. area on Sunday.

Just got a Citizen Alert that the plane crashed in the DC Area after violating No Fly Zone

Staging area is now St Mary's Wilderness (which is exactly where the flight path ends).
Side note: I've heard multiple mentions of no cell service. I thought FirstNet was supposed to solve this??
