On Saturday, a loud explosion-like sound and potential sonic boom caused widespread panic among residents in Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts. Many initially feared an earthquake due to the intensity of the noise, which resulted in buildings rattling and windows shaking. Reports of the disturbance flooded local authorities, prompting an influx of calls. However, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) confirmed that no seismic activity was recorded in the area during this time. Police and emergency officials are currently investigating the cause of the disturbance, but no source has been identified yet, and there have been no confirmed incidents of fire, smoke, or explosions. Witnesses took to social media to share their experiences, with one resident in Rhode Island asking if others felt the shaking, while another reported similar sensations in Boston. The incident has left many residents puzzled, as they await further information from officials regarding the source of the loud noise.
