Aiken, SC-- It was the sound heard 'round the Two-State.
Resident: "I heard a big boom."
Resident: "All the sudden, the house shook."
From Aiken...to Edgefield....Augusta to McCormick....e-mails and calls came pouring in...people wanting to know what all the noise is about.
The story is consistent: shortly before 3:00 a.m., Friday morning, something broke the sound barrier and shook houses.
Resident: "I got up, looked outside to see if there was anything out there, and I didn't see nothing."
Then came the eyewitness reports:
Resident: "Somebody had seen a ball of fire in the sky."
Chris Turner, Aiken, SC (phone interview): "I noticed a big, big ball of fire in the eastern sky, fell from east to west and within ten minutes, I heard a boom."
Aiken County Sheriff's Office deputies who were working overnight described an object in the sky that resembled heat lightning.
This man said he heard a boom, Thursday morning in Edgefield, and shortly after noticed two large planes above the area.
Edgefield resident: "Really didn't dawn on me at the time, but now that you mentioned this, could be something going on that we didn't know about."
Theories are quickly dropping.
Resident: "Probably earthquake, something like that."
Kenneth Bagwell, Bath SC: "Could have been anything, you don't really know."
Resident: "Maybe UFO."
It's a bird? it's a plane? it's a question...that's fallen over the Two-State.
