Mays Landing, NJ — Suspected Navy Supersonic Test Flight

A traffic spike was detected along the South Jersey shore at 12:42 PM EDT on March 17, with spiking cells in Mays Landing, Toms River, Galloway, and Ocean View. The pattern closely matches a nearly identical event on March 17, 2025, when NAS Patuxent River confirmed a supersonic test flight on the Atlantic Test Track, the DoD offshore corridor paralleling the Delmarva Peninsula, as the cause of booms felt across the same South Jersey communities. The base had just reopened after a weather closure on March 16 and was conducting an active supersonic weapons testing campaign that week, with officially announced tests scheduled for March 19–20 from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM.
