I was driving to work at 6:30 am a couple of weeks ago. There were very few cars on the parkway I was on and none near me. Suddenly. I heard seven loud knocks on my back seat window, all syncopated to equal lengths of time. It was startling. I thought there was a deer or raccoon on my car. But I was going 65 mph on a parkway for 20 minutes and that was impossible. I took out my phone to leave a voice memo. As I spoke into the phone, I knocked on my drivers side window (which sounded exactly like what I heard) and was saying the time and date. I’d dint know. The date so I looked at the phone and it was Nov 17. I suddenly realized that that is my mothers birthday. This was such a weird event. Nothing else happened but I will never forget it.

I think sometimes they want to be acknowledged. Sometimes I also get "messages". A month ago I was going about my day doing this and that, and it came to my attention that a name kept being repeated by the people surrounding me and on the tv, the news, online, strangers on the street. Well, not excessively, but enough for me to notice. So I look at the calendar and it's one of my old friend's birthday that passed away years ago. His name was the one they kept repeating.

I said "Hello, (insert his name). " That's all they really want.

Just out of curiosity, this wasn't close to the military testing site where they have been doing faster-than-sound testing off the coast of NJ? https://6abc.com/new-jersey-boom-sha...ay%20afternoon.

In that link, they stated that the sound could be heard as far away as Connecticut.

This just jogged a memory. Months back, something similar happened to me and the person I was with. We were driving down a stretch of road with no other cars around, when suddenly we heard a loud sound coming from the back part of the car -- and oddly I can't recall exactly *what* the sound was, but I believe it sounded like banging on the roof.

We both looked at each other like, "What the heck was that?!"

We thought it might have come from a construction site, but there was no construction around. Whatever the sound was, it was *loud.*

No other cars around. No buildings near the road, only grass and trees.

We hadn't run over anything. No objects had hit or fallen onto the car.

I think it was a series of bangs around 6-10 in total. Gave the impression of something banging on the roof.

No explanation for what had caused it.

It was WEIRD.

The other weird thing is, I had totally forgotten about this until I saw this thread. It happened during a period of my life where everything was in upheaval, so that memory had gotten swept under the rug. There very well could be a rational explanation for what caused the sound, but at the time neither of us could figure out what that could be.

Additional twist: soon thereafter (a few weeks or so), while we were hanging out, his car was broken into and my belongings were stolen out of it.

In that link, I provided they also stated that there were 9 sonic booms. You said seven, which makes those booms a good candidate for your mysterious bangs. I guess the proper way to dismiss my speculation is to track down exactly when you heard the bangs and exactly when the military did the testing.

These were not booms. These were clear knocks on the window. I don't think I could mistake the two. Was it exactly 6:34 am or so?

I thought you were going to say something like, "soon thereafter, I found out my [close relative] had died a few hours before we were on the road that day". Think back; can you think of anyone close to you who had passed away at some point within a few weeks before that day?
