to make a boom loud enough to be heard as you guys describe, it's have to be something moving at over mach 2, as the sound wave compression at mach 1 to 2, although dense, unless coming from a very large mass, wouldn't cause the amount of noise that you have described.

the only aircraft capable of mach 1 in nz is the Hunter, and that's only in a dive.

an small asteroid or piece of space junk, travelling at 20 - 30 times the SOS though would certainly make a bang
