I think I heard 2 quick booms in succession a few minutes ago. I am in the piedmont region of the Southeast USA. COULD THEY HAVE BEEN SONIC BOOMS related to the anticipated crash of the Chinese craft supposed to crash somewhere about now (10 PM EST)?  How long/far would rocket travel after "the booms"? The sounds were not very, very loud.
So, I tried to straighten everything out and guess what I got for it.  No, really, just guess!

I had hoped to get conjecture from numbers crunchers on matters related to the possible crash. Do they not work weekends?

The keep pushing reentry southward in the next orbit. I think as now, northwest Indian Ocean, but was Mediterranean
A few minutes ago. Likely will fall I. Less than an hour.

By the way about 2-3 hours ago if in Southeast, may have been near the Wallops Island launch. That was supposed to be tonight.

Reports in Mideast media suggest it was spotted over Israel, then Saudi Arabia, but no confirmed sightings after that, suggesting the speculated Indian Ocean crash.
