One day playing outside in the 1960s I watched as a jet flew overhead. It was moving pretty fast across the sky. I remember the strange thing is that it made no noise. Then, as it dipped below the horizon BOOM a window-shaking sonic wave arrived.

This was the midwest US. Nearby was Lincoln AFB (Air Force Base) which no longer exists.
