Tuesday the HMS Queen Elizabeth began embarking its complement of F35's for the first time. I had read an article about it being in port in Florida a week or so ago... i just googled and found the F35's are coming onboard from Pax River this week.
Obviously that doesn't mean the boom came from one of her F35's, but I would expect a lot of military flights off the MD coast while she's there. Her pilots will be doing trials & testing and there will doubtless be a lot of our aircraft doing joint ops and playing adversary games; practice intercepts and such.

I seen what appeared to be a blue jet aircraft come down the beach the other day at 124th. Pretty peculiar ceiling for a late Wednesday morning and it was only a single plane. I understand south west of where I'm at towards Cambridge a more significant effect.
I know every so often something will go down in the refuge that they have to retrieve. Last known to me was one of those vtols when they were all over the place early on or a drone or two.
One thing for sure, if it was a sonic boom and one or more of the those guys are coming for you, you better be able to dig deep and real quick.
They should do this more often just to keep people on their toes. Everybody is calling one another and asking WTF was that?

On Friday, September 28 at about 3:00 PM residents from Delmar, DE to Cambridge, MD called local authorities to report hearing a loud sound and an explosion or “sonic boom” shaking the ground, and in some cases even their homes.
According to Patrick Gordon, the Public Information Officer for the Naval Air Station (NAS) – Patuxent River, the origin of the loud noise and moving earth was a few F-16’s from the Department of Defense utilizing the Patuxent River air space.
