Residents of Pensacola and across the Gulf Coast and Alabama took to social media and to their phones to report a loud and rattling boom that effected the area around 10 p.m. last night.
The sonic boom was caused a SpaceX Dragon capsule and Ax-2 crew returning to earth. That Dragon, named Freedom, undocked from the International Space Station(ISS) earlier in the day attending a 10-day mission that included eight days docked at the orbiting lab. Freedom returned to Earth 12 hours later.
