I am prepared to be told it can't have happened, but I trust my memory. Something broke the sound barrier that day and I heard it.
I am sure you did hear a sonic boom, they were caused by "high speed" aircraft in dives before and after Chuck Yeager officially broke the "barrier" in level flight in 1947.
