I wanted to talk about the the the sound that was heard in South Carolina. >> Yeah, I would like your opinion.
00:00:06
>> Oh, I've got a lot of them. Well, one, you've got meteorites falling, meteors
00:00:10
falling in Massachusetts, in Cape Cod Bay. You have I I don't know what's going on. Uh but people in South
00:00:19
Carolina heard a boom. It didn't sound like lightning. It didn't sound or thunder. It it it sounded like an
00:00:28
explosion. There are all of these security camera footage, you know, of animals who were hiding under cars, uh,
00:00:35
who heard this boom and then immediately started kind of either packing up together or getting under cars.
00:00:41
People were writing on social media that they thought a bomb had gone off, but they couldn't find, no one still can
00:00:46
find any impact or anything. People started calling into 911, of course, what is it? What is it? They're still
00:00:53
trying to figure it out. They don't think it was a meteor because there was no strike. There's no fireball
00:01:02
that anyone could see. There was no satellite images of meteors. And they do monitor meteors. Uh,
00:01:08
>> are you saying that word a little weird? >> Meteor. I just did a whole edit for the
00:01:12
last two hours about an asteroid hunter and I said meteors a lot. Meteor. Say it
00:01:17
for me. >> Meteor. Meteor. Why are you laughing? Meteor. Say meteor. >> Meteor. Please continue.
00:01:32
>> Okay. So, the >> do track the meteor. >> The there was they couldn't find anything on satellite that would show
00:01:39
that this was a meteor or show that there was a fireball or anything like it. >> When I saw this, I thought Phoebe's
00:01:45
going to think this is aliens. >> I haven't finished the story yet. Uh >> oh. >> No explosion.
00:01:54
No physical damage, no meteor. They now think that this was caused, this type of an explosion, this boom,
00:02:07
uh, was a sonic boom. Do you know what a sonic boom is? >> I've heard the term. I don't really know
00:02:12
what it means. This is a very loud sound of an explosion or something that only occurs
00:02:19
when an object travels faster than the speed of sound, 767 miles hour. If it is a sonic boom,
00:02:35
what object travels faster than 767 mph? So, you think it is another life form? >> Lauren, I see you smiling and I'm just
00:02:47
going to say it. I am not saying they're there. I am not I am just saying why would be we'd be so naive to think that
00:02:56
we were the only things out there. I'm not saying they're little green men. I'm not saying they have big eyes, but I am
00:03:02
saying that if there and when they do show themselves, they are welcome here at your house. I
00:03:11
just sonic boom. What? What? South Carolina dogs under cars. They heard it too. Well,
00:03:19
hopefully we you and I are going to South Carolina for an interview in a couple of months and maybe we can
00:03:25
investigate. >> We'll investigate, too. >> We'll get to the bottom of this. We'll
00:03:29
report back.
