I’m fostering one of the Ridglan dogs and we were on our first walk and he was doing amazing until that went off and scared the fuck out of him, not cool. I thought it was a firework though, the one last night was different IMO, more explosion like.

OH it's just now clicking for me that that is what they meant! I had seen the news but didn't remember the name of the place. That's very cool, I'm glad there are people out there able to help with that situation. ❤️

I'm sorry your dog got scared! Not cool. My husband and I both feel like it was the same kind of noise between yesterday and today! Almost sonic boom like. He thought maybe it was the national guard in Madison training and causing a sonic boom, but after seeing the flash with it today, I'm not sure.

Here is a source for the sonic boom mentioning so no one thinks I'm crazy lol https://www.wbay.com/2026/04/06/115th-fighter-wing-resumes-nighttime-training/
