It turns out it was neither! The shuttle just landed. You remember - the one that we didn't get to see go up? Well, I guess it made up for it with the most spectacular double sonic boom we've ever heard from a return trip. I was in the shower, and DH ran in asking if I was ok. The boom was so loud that it shook the house. I thought it was a tree fallen on the roof. Hub thought it was a blown transformer. When he ran outside to check, he saw a few other neighbors in their driveways equally confused. They all muttered to themselves a moment before a smarter neighbor clued them in. ;-)
I know a few people around here (not many) who sigh disgustedly and say, "It's just the shuttle," when people get all excited about it launching or returning. Excuse me?? I think airplanes are freakin' amazing, and THIS thing just came back from SPACE! And not only does it return from the "final frontier," it returns with someone FLYING it, who then LANDS on a TARMAC! Just the shuttle my ass.
Did a tree just fall on my house, or did a transformer blow up?
