Not an earthquake, most people reporting it as a sonic boom from the Singapore Airforce F15/F16 jets. Yes they aren't allowed to go sonic but doesn't mean it wasn't! Felt all over SOR
Has anyone noticed the mushroom cloud rising from Garden Island ?

Singaporean F15s are in operation for the next few weeks (13th Aug to 9th September), and F16s from 9th September to 18th October.
This may be the cause, but we wont know until we know.
I'm in Waikiki and felt it. My father inlaw is in Coobelup also felt it.
In Cockburn. Heard a bang/thud
I'm in an industrial area in Canningvale and felt a very large shake. Thought it was a factory near by but it was exceedingly larger than the normal bangs and booms I hear
Felt it in Baldivis. Felt more like the shockwave from an explosion, it was so brief. Almost like a “thud”.
In Jandakot, yep I felt it
For anyone interested who may live in an area where these airforce training events are occurring, here is the schedule whilst the Singaporeans are here:

Has anyone checked if Garden Island is still there?
Nothing in North Perth
Someone going supersonic off the coast ?
Ah, so I wasn't going crazy (well, for that reason anyhow).
Mandurah felt it.
Nothing in Melbourne
Felt it in kwinana, thought my roof was collapsing. I’ve seen on FB people are saying the heard/felt it from Mandurah to freo to Armadale
Heard a bang/thud and windows rattled in Leeming.
Haven’t noticed anything in Subi
I'm near Kelmscott and didn't notice or feel anything kinda feel I've missed out like when I slept through "that" hailstorm a few years back
Having lived in Germany during the 1980's, which those of a historical leaning may remember as being a time when the Cold War almost became a hot one, I heard my fair share of sonic booms from the American and German Air Force fighters based nearby. This 'boom' we heard today bought back some memories as it did sound like what I heard as a child. The American's called it "The Sound of Freedom" and with the Soviet forces and their Communist East German brothers across the border, we didn't mind.
...though my very German and house-proud mother hated them as we had pop-corn ceilings and every sonic boom bought down a cloud of dust in our otherwise immaculate living room.
There is nothing on earthquakes.ga.gov.au for today
Windows rattled a bit in Thornlie!
Mandurah - Wife felt it whilst I'm outside pressure cleaning - she thought it me blasting the windows but there you go
Same in Melville
Felt it rack straight through my body, scared my dog, rattled my house. SOR, near Byford
Felt in Spearwood, all my windows shook
Didn’t feel anything at Joondalup TAFE..
If it's not here, and it isn't [https://earthquakes.ga.gov.au/](https://earthquakes.ga.gov.au/) it wasn't an earthquake.
Fell off the trampoline. My bad
I’m in Melville and didn’t hear or feel a thing.
Nothing in bull Creek
South freo I felt it
Heard and felt it in South Lake.
So here’s a YouTube video with sonic booms at close range: they don’t seem loud enough to be causing a thud you can physically feel over 10’s of kilometers away…. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gWGLAAYdbbc&feature=youtu.be
Another good one here too from onboard a carrier:
https://youtu.be/PQydRIxoAU0?si=Eib6dvhDExvIfz_b
For comparison, here’s a video with space shuttle Discovery making a sonic boom on re-entry, many times the size and weight of any fighter: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b11VRycN_Zw&feature=youtu.be
A jet breaching the speed of sound is still the most likely explanation here though I think…
Bibra Lake
Sounded like something went boom. The lack of smoke, flames, and sirens had me wondering what fell down.
Hadn't even considered a sonic boom from a jet but wouldn't be surprised.
Heard it. Thought oh... Thunder. Meh.
In Crawley. Felt nothing.
Someone’s meth lab exploding.
Yep felt it
San Remo (just nth of Mandurah) at home definitely felt and heard a sharp thud with window rattle
Window rattled in Freo

A Small meteor passing over head..
Heading westward probably landed somewhere in the Indian ocean, that's if it actually landed or just skimmed us....

Most exciting thing to happen in Perth since the 2010 hailstorm.
Didn't hear anything but did see a low flying F15 near Pearce just before lunch
I lived in the UK when Concord was still a thing, used to hear the boom when they went sonic, never shook the city though.

Two F15/F16's are flying around right now. May have been sonic booms. I didn't hear/feel anything and when they flew over my house they were not flying quickly enough for a boom so who knows.

Rattled doors and windows and set the dogs off in Jandakot
It rattled windows in Byford. I'm thinking that it was a meteor exploding up high.
