The sonic booms generated by this supersonic flight are the subject of the report. For the calendar year 1970, a typical year, Air Force flight operations resulted in approximately 1,637,000 nautical miles of supersonic flight across the United States. Three possible adverse environmental effects can be identified: No cumulative physiological-psychological effect on animal life; the annoyance and startle associated with sonic booms; the sleight damage to structures including archaeological sites.
