Anybody know more about this:The FBI insists there was no military plane in the area but at 9.22am a sonic boom - caused by a supersonic jet - was picked up by an earthquake monitor in southern Pennsylvania, 60 miles away from Shanksville. This could be very big. It's certainly a verifiable claim (unlike almost every other claim.) And if it's true then either the administration is caught in a very big lie, or some extra governmental force has supersonic aircraft operating in our airspace. To put it mildly, the latter seems highly unlikely.
FWIW, I personally have always believed we shot down that plane. And it may well have been justified. I don't really have a problem with that. It's the lying about it afterwards. This points to a larger pattern of deceit that really needs to be uncovered.
Any more links on the sonic boom? Anybody remember mention of this before?
truth over fiction will ease personal friction
On the morning of 9-11-01 I clearly remember sitting on D's couch with A. and hearing a breaking report that two air force jets had been scrambled to intercept a commercial jet somewhere in the Northeast, the location was thought to be Pennsylvania. Not long afterwards the reports of the crashed jet in a Pennsylvania field began to come in. I have never heard any follow-up to the report of the scrambled millitary jets.

BBC programme Clear The Skies reveals, the threat of an attack from within America had been considered so small that the entire US mainland was being defended by only 14 planes.
