The National Meteorological Service of Birmingham and James Spann, a local TV meteorologist, also shared their suggestions about the nature of the sound.
Re: loud boom heard: we do not see anything indicating large fire/smoke on radar or satellite; nothing on USGS indicating an earthquake. We don't have an answer, and can only hypothesize with you. 1) sonic boom from aircraft; 2) meteorite w/ current Leonid shower?

Still no explanation for the “Bama Boom” around 1:45p CT. Reports are from Blount, Jefferson, Walker, Cullman, Talladega, Calhoun, Clay, Winston, Randolph, Tuscaloosa, St. Clair counties.

No explanation from USGS, NOAA, or EMA. Waiting to hear back from NASA… possible meteor
However, the head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office, Bill Cooke, told ABC 3340 the noise might have been caused by tests of a supersonic aircraft, but the US Air Force hasn't yet confirmed this information.
The disturbing sounds were even captured on video.
Fans of the "Stranger Things" series fantasized that the sounds could have been some otherworldly dark forces trying to reach humanity.
The origin of those mysterious "booms" still remains unclear.
Meanwhile, similar reports have been appearing for a while from different parts of the world, including Idaho (US), Cairns (Australia), Abergavenny (Wales) and Lapland (Finland). Another mysterious sound resembling a trumpet was heard from the sky above the Iranian city of Astara in August.
